Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Helder Gracies (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and James Jorge (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Helder Gracies had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.3lbs, 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. James Jorge has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Nathaniel Clegg (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bezerra da Silva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Clegg kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Il mercenario L'arena by Ennio Morricone. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
