Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Armando Salazar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Pierwszy Ostatni (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Salazar comes to the cage accompanied by Teardrop-Massive Attack. Pierwszy Ostatni struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 156.7lbs 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.
