Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Markus Justice (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Leslie Harp (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Harp's choice of entrance music: Eternal Erection - Absolutely Free . Markus Justice had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.5lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. Both fighters look pumped up here. Let's hope this is a good fight!
