Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Hubert Godfrey (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dirt McGirk (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Godfrey comes to the cage accompanied by Adagio For Strings by DJ Tiesto. McGirk has chosen This Is Who I Am as his entrance music. Dirt McGirk struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 156.0lbs 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. Dirt McGirk will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
