Robbie Peralta (15-3, 1 no contest, 144) vs. Jason Young (9-5, 145) - Crowd very enthusiastic, big reaction to Young and his U.K. flag underwear. Both physically looked in great shape
Gunnar Nelson (9-0-1, 175) vs. DaMarques Johnson (18-11, 183) - They just announced this as a catch weight fight, but evidently Johnson and Nelson are at a different catch weight)

John Maguire (18-3, 169) vs. John Hathaway (15-1, 169) - Maguire looks a little soft. Both of these fighters are Britsh, but fans see Hathaway as the bigger star.
Matt Wiman (14-6, 156) vs. Paul Sass (13-0, 156) - Sass didn't get so big a reaction. He should, seriously he is one of the most fun fighters to watch in the UFC today.
