Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Timothy Mcgee (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Peter Gracie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mcgee comes to the cage accompanied by McGee. Timothy Mcgee had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 206.5lbs, 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!

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Princess Bride (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Yrjo Jarvinen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Bride might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Holy Wars...The Punishment Due. Jarvinen has chosen Frederik - Harva meistä on rautaa as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Yrjo Jarvinen has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
