Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Flex Legs (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dan Barford (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Both these fighters had to take extra time to make weight as they missed the initial 155lb limit.

No doubt it will have affected them physically though, so let's see if that has an impact on the fight. Dan Barford looks lathargic as he enters the arena. Wake up son, you're about to have a fight!
