Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Marin Petric (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Pablo Mota (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mota has chosen Rock Superstar as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Pablo Mota struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 186.4lbs 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. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
