Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Peter Pan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Grill A Warefare (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Warefare is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: All'n My Grill . Peter Pan had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 172.9lbs, 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. Over to our ring announcer for the fighter introductions!
