Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Kazuyuki Takimoto (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Eric Lee (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Takimoto comes to the cage accompanied by Instrumental. Eric Lee struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 157.4lbs 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. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Nick Church (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Anton LaVey (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Church comes into the arena with blaring out of the sound system. LaVey has a pretty significant injury - he really shouldn't be fighting right now but he's a warrior and he's here none the less! Both these guys have solid standup skills and neither is particularly fantastic on the ground, so let's hope for a nice standup war!
