Deer Hunter had a terrible time trying to make weight. After initially coming in at 149.4, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. Stepping on the scales for a second time, he still failed to make the required weight and after much deliberation, his fight with Sun Lutang was cancelled. |

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Boniface Randriamaholison (ranked 1518 p4p, 1318 weight class) and Johan Joestar (ranked 184 p4p, 154 weight class). Randriamaholison's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Careless Whisper (Remastered). Joestar has chosen Coda - Bloody Stream as his entrance music. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
