Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Jim Mcfly (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Chico Dominguez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jim Mcfly had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 137.1lbs, 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. Both fighters will be looking to make this an exciting fight for the fans, I'm sure!
