Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Chris Ward (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and tyson Griffin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ward comes to the cage accompanied by Can't Be Touched. Both these fighters had to take extra time to make weight as they missed the initial 155lb limit. Chris Ward came in at 157.0 and tyson Griffin came in at 156.1 but after the extra two hours, both guys managed to get within the one pound allowance. No doubt it will have affected them physically though, so let's see if that has an impact on the fight. Over to our ring announcer for the fighter introductions!
