Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Bali Mo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dylan McQueen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). McQueen has a pretty significant injury - he really shouldn't be fighting right now but he's a warrior and he's here none the less! The crowd giving both fighters a great reception on their way into the arena. That's good to see.
