He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. Marcelo Costa De Andrade had a look across the cage there at his opponent. He definitely means business

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Edmond Honda (ranked 578 p4p, 19 weight class) and Archie Trew (ranked 875 p4p, 27 weight class). Honda kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is E. Honda Stage Theme Extended. Trew has chosen Fuck You - Lily Allen as his entrance music. I don't know about you partner, but I'm pumped for this one!
