Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Thor God of Thunder (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Aydine Antona (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Antona has chosen Laid to Rest by Lamb of God as his entrance music. Thor God of Thunder had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 146.3lbs, 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. Aydine Antona will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
