Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Lucas Faria (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Augustus Belvedere IV (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Faria might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Stevie B - Spring Love. Belvedere IV has chosen Young Forever - JAY Z | Mr. Hudson as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Christopher Pyle (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Adam Hanga (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Pyle comes to the cage accompanied by Bate Pesad�o. Christopher Pyle had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 172.8lbs, 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. I can't wait for this one - let's get the fighter introductions out of the way and get this one started!
