Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Lee Murray (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Matt Kota (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Murray comes to the cage accompanied by Smack My Bitch Up. Matt Kota struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 186.1lbs 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. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
