Drone Jr is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Eminem - Above The Law . Tyson Drone Jr struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 267.8lbs 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. Cant Think A Name has the edge in experience - let's see if he can make that count tonight.

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Oslyn Rose (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Einar Haugen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Haugen is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Blood Rave !. Oslyn Rose had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 157.0lbs, 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. Oslyn Rose had a look across the cage there at his opponent. He definitely means business
