Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Alexander Chrumanov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rafael Santos (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chrumanov comes to the ring accompanied by ...When Gjallarhorn Will Sound. Alexander Chrumanov had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 187.1lbs, 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. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Macius Kierzkowski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Samppa Palmu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Macius Kierzkowski had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 187.9lbs, 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!
