Undercard bout

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Phil Cruz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jack Hammer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hammer comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Slippin kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Phil Cruz had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 146.1lbs, 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. Man, I cannot wait for this one!
