Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Brownie Jenkins (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tamdan McCrory (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jenkins's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, waving flag k'naan. Tamdan McCrory 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. I can't wait for this one - let's get the fighter introductions out of the way and get this one started!
