Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Nikoli Gracie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and John McClane (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gracie comes to the cage accompanied by Big Papa. McClane comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Immortal Technique -- Point of No Return kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Nikoli Gracie had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 172.6lbs, 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. Nikoli Gracie looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
