Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between James Jorge (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lauro Henrique (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lauro Henrique struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 156.8lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. Well, the cameraman is lingering on a pretty young lady for a bit too long there. Keep your eyes on the fighters buddy or you'll miss the fighter intros!

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Henrique Cardoso (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Trent Morrow (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Cardoso's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Stemm - Face the pain . Henrique Cardoso had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 157.2lbs, 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. Henrique Cardoso has the edge in experience - let's see if he can make that count tonight.
