Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Daniel Orndorf (ranked 1323 p4p, 2025 weight class) and Schmorgen Biscuit (ranked 181 p4p, 269 weight class). Orndorf comes to the cage accompanied by Wrecking Ball - Andrew Baena. Daniel Orndorf had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 206.1lbs, 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!
