Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Reidar Vedhult (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Danny Trejo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Reidar Vedhult had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 187.4lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. 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.

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tigran Sikhouasvili (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Luis Torres (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sikhouasvili comes to the cage accompanied by Eye of the tiger. Tigran Sikhouasvili had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 266.0lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. Well, I have no idea who's going to take this one!

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Jacques La Haine (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Adrian Shota (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). La Haine comes to the cage accompanied by Cut Killer - Nique La Police. The crowd seem to be enjoying Shota's choice of entrance music: Sounds from the Motherland. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
