Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Curtis Crews (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Miguel Jimenez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Crews comes to the cage accompanied by I'm so paid - Akon . Miguel Jimenez struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 172.5lbs 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. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Mase Marshall (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and James Jones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Marshall might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Buju Banton - Murderer. Jones has chosen Dope Boys-The Game as his entrance music. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Kyle Falls (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kojo Dixon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kyle Falls had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.7lbs, 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. Fingers crossed for an exciting fight - I'm sure both fighters are looking for a nice under the table bonus!
