Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Rex Reynolds (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ralph Waldo Emerson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Emerson has chosen Welcome to the TerrorDome as his entrance music. Rex Reynolds had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.1lbs, 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. Over to our ring announcer for the fighter introductions!
