Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Johny Slicer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Eric Cooke (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Slicer kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Vader -Silent Empire. Cooke is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Inner Heat & Atmozfears - Distortion Fields. Eric Cooke struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 266.1lbs 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. Eric Cooke acknowledges the crowd's support as he enters the cage.
