Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Stewie Lobsusbaka (ranked 3510 p4p, 3835 weight class) and Fox Till (ranked 457 p4p, 492 weight class). Lobsusbaka's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Invincible - Pop Smoke. Fox Till struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 187.6lbs 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. Stewie Lobsusbaka has the edge in experience - let's see if he can make that count tonight.
