Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Donny Brook (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Maurisio Rua (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Maurisio Rua struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 186.7lbs 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. Donny Brook has the edge in experience - let's see if he can make that count tonight.

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Roy Nelson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Frank Edgar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Roy Nelson had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.2lbs, 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. Frank Edgar is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.

I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tyrone Compton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Henri Zizou (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Compton comes into the arena with Fuckin' In The Bushes blaring out of the sound system.
