Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Steve Anderson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Cole Rivers (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

Let's see how much it's taken out of him. I don't know about you partner, but I'm pumped for this one!

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Tony Ing (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Masayo Nagase (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Tony Ing had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.2lbs, 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. Well, the cameraman is lingering on a pretty young lady for a bit too long there. Keep your eyes on the fighters buddy or you'll miss the fighter intros!

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Lancett Cridle (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and William Slider (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Cridle's entrance music is Counterfeit by Limp Bizkit. A fine choice. William Slider struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 157.5lbs 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. William Slider will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
