Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Simon Sez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Thomas Hook (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sez comes to the cage accompanied by Let the Beat Build. Hook has chosen Teenage Wasteland/ Baba O Reily as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Simon Sez had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.5lbs, 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. The atmosphere really building for this one as we go over to our ring announcer for the fighter introductions!
