Undercard bout

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Dameon Machida (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mike Durham (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Machida comes to the cage accompanied by Brazilian Death. Durham is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Mercy. Dameon Machida had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 136.6lbs, 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!
