Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between James Bashor (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Nick Diaz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bashor's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Monster by Skillet. Diaz is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Look At Me Now. James Bashor had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.4lbs, 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. Both fighters really staring each other down here, as Nick Diaz enters the cage!
