Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between AJ McNight (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dmitrtiy Koschelev (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). McNight kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Given Up - Linkin Park. Dmitrtiy Koschelev struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 157.9lbs 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. AJ McNight had a look across the cage there at his opponent. He definitely means business

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Nick Smith (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dilan Rossi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rossi is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Never Surrender by Lion. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Dilan Rossi was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
