Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Xander Brown (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dragomir Turgulan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Brown's entrance music is X Gon' Give It To Ya - DMX. A fine choice. Turgulan has chosen Kings Never Die as his entrance music. Xander Brown had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.3lbs, 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. Xander Brown has the edge in experience - let's see if he can make that count tonight.
