Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Tim Kratenberg (ranked 5201 p4p, 511 weight class) and Azamat Wafflestomper (ranked 5321 p4p, 522 weight class). Both these fighters had to take extra time to make weight as they missed the initial 185lb limit. Tim Kratenberg came in at 187.1 and Azamat Wafflestomper came in at 186.7 but after the extra two hours, both guys managed to get within the one pound allowance. No doubt it will have affected them physically though, so let's see if that has an impact on the fight. Over to our ring announcer for the fighter introductions!

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Nigel Benn Jr (ranked 2170 p4p, 321 weight class) and Ronald Fredrick (ranked 2153 p4p, 318 weight class).

It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Nigel Benn Jr seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
