Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Victor Blitzkof (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ari Vanhala (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Blitzkof might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to In The End. Vanhala has chosen Bad Religion - Generator as his entrance music. Victor Blitzkof had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.1lbs, 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. Over to our ring announcer for the fighter introductions!
