Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ross Potter (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rodrigo Fleury (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Fleury has chosen Restart - Recomeçar as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Ross Potter had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 266.1lbs, 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. Over to our ring announcer for the fighter introductions!
