Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Anderson Lennox (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rickson Araujo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Both these fighters had to take extra time to make weight as they missed the initial 185lb limit. Anderson Lennox came in at 186.4 and Rickson Araujo came in at 186.0 but after the extra two hours, both guys managed to get within the one pound allowance. No doubt it will have affected them physically though, so let's see if that has an impact on the fight. Over to our ring announcer for the fighter introductions!
