Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Barry Washington (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Michael Roberts (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Roberts has chosen Arctic Monkeys - Leave Before The Lights Come On as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Barry Washington had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.7lbs, 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!
