Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Thomas Crim (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and John Perry (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Thomas Crim had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.2lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight.
