Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Areli Durga (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Anthony Dinozzo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Durga might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Godsmack - Voodoo. Dinozzo has chosen Dinozzo the Womanizer as his entrance music. Anthony Dinozzo struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 186.2lbs 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 will be looking to make this an exciting fight for the fans, I'm sure!
