Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Leonardo Da Silva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hao Ah Yu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Da Silva kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Kendrick Lamar - Bitch, Don't Kill My Vibe. Hao Ah Yu struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 137.4lbs 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. Fingers crossed for an exciting fight - I'm sure both fighters are looking for a nice under the table bonus!
