Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Rick Dick (ranked 2646 p4p, 278 weight class) and Didi Hamman (ranked 2555 p4p, 273 weight class). Didi Hamman struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 171.1lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
