Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Roger Pott (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Avila Alvarez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Pott comes to the cage accompanied by I Luv It. Alvarez has chosen Barbarian by The Darkness as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Roger Pott had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 206.3lbs, 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. Over to our ring announcer for the fighter introductions!
