Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between AJ Thindale (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jason Miller (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Miller comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Lava Lava kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Jason Miller struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 171.1lbs 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. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
