Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Toni Turpa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Martial Law (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Law has chosen Go Hard as his entrance music. Martial Law 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. Fingers crossed for an exciting fight - I'm sure both fighters are looking for a nice under the table bonus!
