Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Forrest Mainhard (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and rafael borges (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Forrest Mainhard had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 268.0lbs, 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. Forrest Mainhard could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to rafael borges's chin.

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Hans Arne Georgsen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Nate Brown (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Georgsen kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is O Fortuna. Brown has chosen Randy Newman - Short People as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Nate Brown will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.
