Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Cfany Cfaniak (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Pascual Perez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Perez is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Another One Bites The Dust. Pascual Perez struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 172.2lbs 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. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Pascual Perez was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
