Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jack Buzynski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mike Schneider (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Buzynski comes into the arena with Wavin Flag by K'naan blaring out of the sound system. Mike Schneider struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 208.0lbs 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. The atmosphere really building for this one as we go over to our ring announcer for the fighter introductions!
