Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Luke Withers (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Cody Trancoso (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Withers's entrance music is Snap your fingers snap your neck. A fine choice. Trancoso has chosen Diablo Swing Orchestra - Poetic Pitbull Revolutions as his entrance music. Luke Withers had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.1lbs, 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. Luke Withers has the edge in experience - let's see if he can make that count tonight.
