Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Paro Karysian (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jew Doh (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Doh has chosen Hurt - NIN as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Paro Karysian had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.6lbs, 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. Over to our ring announcer for the fighter introductions!

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Steve Mash (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Leandro Lima (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mash kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genuis that is North Dakota State Fight Song. Lima is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Shadown Fall. Leandro Lima struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 157.8lbs 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 will be looking to make this an exciting fight for the fans, I'm sure!
