Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Karl Stromberg (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ayrton Silva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Silva has chosen The Automatic - Monster as his entrance music. Karl Stromberg had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 206.1lbs, 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. We have two fighters making their debuts here, so let's see who comes out of this one with their first professional victory.
