Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Ben Sweeney (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Romy Diaz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ben Sweeney had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.6lbs, 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!
