Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ghazi Okah (ranked 1778 p4p, 221 weight class) and Dada Segbo (ranked 721 p4p, 106 weight class). Okah comes into the arena with Rock Stone blaring out of the sound system. The crowd seem to be enjoying Segbo's choice of entrance music: For Heavy Metal we will die!. Ghazi Okah had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 206.4lbs, 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. Both fighters really staring each other down here, as Dada Segbo enters the cage!
