The crowd seem to be enjoying Diaz's choice of entrance music: AC/DC - TNT. Brandon Farnhook had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.8lbs, 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. Brandon Farnhook has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
