Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Sunto Khan (ranked 4510 p4p, 5245 weight class) and Stoik Cannofyre (ranked 269 p4p, 291 weight class). Chooooooooon!

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tike Myson (ranked 3446 p4p, 3724 weight class) and Leonardo Abreu (ranked 390 p4p, 411 weight class). Abreu has chosen T.N.T. as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Tike Myson had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 206.2lbs, 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!
