Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Akbahi King (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dev Greek (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Dev Greek struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 156.5lbs 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. Well, I have no idea who's going to take this one!

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Jake Barbossa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sameer Hamadoui (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hamadoui has chosen Lights Out as his entrance music. Jake Barbossa had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.0lbs, 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. The crowd giving both fighters a great reception on their way into the arena. That's good to see.
