Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Stomp Bunga (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Anderman Silver (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Silver has chosen RENEGADE MASTER as his entrance music. Anderman Silver struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 171.1lbs 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. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
