Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Meka Bertane Jr (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dick Hertz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hertz is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by PORN MUZIK. Dick Hertz struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 146.1lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. Dick Hertz told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
