Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Bryan Fury (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Andre Lopes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Fury comes to the cage accompanied by Beast !. Lopes has chosen boladao as his entrance music. Andre Lopes struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 146.2lbs 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. Bryan Fury has the edge in experience - let's see if he can make that count tonight.
