Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Wanderson Marua (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Aze Toro (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Toro has chosen Hate me or Get DIE tryn' - 50cent as his entrance music. Wanderson Marua had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.4lbs, 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. I can't wait for this one - let's get the fighter introductions out of the way and get this one started!

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Saoul Kayne (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mathias Falcao (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).
