Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Tom Korppila (ranked 1055 p4p, 1767 weight class) and Rick Richardson (ranked 72 p4p, 122 weight class). Korppila comes into the arena with Mustasch - The Mauler blaring out of the sound system. Richardson has chosen Alma Enamorada (Chalino Sánchez) as his entrance music. 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 featherweight MMA rules bout between Rob Roy (ranked 580 p4p, 501 weight class) and Bruce White Jr (ranked 43 p4p, 37 weight class). Rob Roy had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 146.0lbs, 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. On his way into the cage it seems that Rob Roy has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Rob Roy seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
