Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Qpf Fighter Three (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jose Marinas (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Don Escalante (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Troy Lee (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Troy Lee struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 171.0lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. Troy Lee is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
