Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Willie Manuawillie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gomer Pyle (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Manuawillie kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Lil Wayne Feat. Eminem - Drop The World!. Pyle has chosen The Marines' Hymn as his entrance music. Willie Manuawillie had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.9lbs, 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. Both fighters will be looking to make this an exciting fight for the fans, I'm sure!
