Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Danny Brown (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mark Fuentes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Brown comes to the cage accompanied by Milton Jackson - Mode 3. Mark Fuentes struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 186.5lbs 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. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
