Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Andre Silva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and JD Stylo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Andre Silva had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.8lbs, 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!

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Vernon Rookshaw (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rex Harris (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rex Harris struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 186.8lbs 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. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
