Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Fernando Torres (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Stephen Crane (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Crane's choice of entrance music: The Fall of Troy - F.C.P.R.E.M.I.X.. Fernando Torres had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 172.0lbs, 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. Both fighters really staring eachother down here, as Stephen Crane enters the cage!

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Dave O Connor (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Paul Baley (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Paul Baley struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 171.4lbs 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. Dave O Connor has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
