Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Christian Cyborg (ranked 2427 p4p, 238 weight class) and Wayne Williams (ranked 831 p4p, 101 weight class).

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!
