Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Miika Laihaila (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Garlin Liddle (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Laihaila comes to the cage accompanied by Forever Lost. Liddle has chosen eye of the tiger as his entrance music. Miika Laihaila had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 266.6lbs, 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. The atmosphere really building for this one as we go over to our ring announcer for the fighter introductions!
