Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Griffin Glass (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Leslie Morrow (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Glass's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, run to the hills- iron maiden. Morrow comes into a darkened arena with his song building.

He only made it down to 157.2lbs 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.
