Dinozzo comes to the cage accompanied by Dinozzo the Womanizer. McNamara has chosen Massive Attack - Teardrop (House M.D.) as his entrance music. Sean McNamara struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 186.3lbs 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. 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.
