Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Benito Kamelas (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Derrick James Magnaye (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Magnaye comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Here comes the Boom kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Benito Kamelas had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.9lbs, 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. Over to our ring announcer for the fighter introductions!
