Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Vladik Fedotov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Raphael Adamson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Vladik Fedotov had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 172.2lbs, 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!
