Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Aldo Mrakovcic (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Theodore Loyd (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Loyd has chosen Throwdown - Burn as his entrance music. Aldo Mrakovcic had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.1lbs, 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. Theodore Loyd looks lathargic as he enters the arena. Wake up son, you're about to have a fight!
