Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between John Psina (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Quik Yin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Yin is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by I Got A Feeling (lol :P). Quik Yin struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 186.1lbs 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. John Psina is staring across the cage at his opponent, tweaking his nipples... Tweaking his own nipples that is.
