Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Matthew Davis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gram Mahone (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mahone has chosen 300 Violin Orchestra as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Matthew Davis had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.5lbs, 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. Gram Mahone is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
