Falandas comes to the cage accompanied by Feed the Machine. Knox is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: One Step Closer | Linkin Park.

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Horus Egyptian (ranked 441 p4p, 1011 weight class) and Lyke Tuytuhlz (ranked 55 p4p, 124 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Tuytuhlz's choice of entrance music: Nas - N.Y. State of Mind. Lyke Tuytuhlz struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 186.7lbs 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. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
