Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Luis Michaels (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Eric Shaw (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Michaels's entrance music is Dead on Arrival by Billy Idol. A fine choice. Eric Shaw struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 207.4lbs 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. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
