Drake Winchester had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.1lbs, 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. Over to our ring announcer for the fighter introductions!

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Buck Norris (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Furio Giunta (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Norris kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Six Feet Under - Lycanthropy. Giunta is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: The Godfather Theme - Fantomas. 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.
