Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Dakota Weston (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Maricio Shogun (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Shogun has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Shawn Jackson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Brock Lesnar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jackson's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Hustlin. Lesnar has a pretty significant injury - he really shouldn't be fighting right now but he's a warrior and he's here none the less! Shawn Jackson has a significant reach advantage - let's see if he can make it count.
