Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Riki Maru (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Daniel Midas (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Maru kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Chris Brown - Ayo. Riki Maru had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.8lbs, 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!
