Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Kaiden Thibodeaux (ranked 397 p4p, 575 weight class) and Tommy Harinck (ranked 29 p4p, 40 weight class). Thibodeaux's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Scotty x D4L. Tommy Harinck struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 136.2lbs 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. Over to our ring announcer for the fighter introductions!
