Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Hello Bay (ranked 965 p4p, 133 weight class) and Eldar Smith (ranked 1980 p4p, 244 weight class). Hello Bay had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 266.3lbs, 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!
