Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Mc Mac Mophy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Yokohura Nibashie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mc Mac Mophy had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 146.5lbs, 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!
