Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Danik Babuckiy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Stephen Koepfer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Koepfer has chosen Mongol as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Danik Babuckiy had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 172.2lbs, 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. Danik Babuckiy had a look across the cage there at his opponent. He definitely means business
