Tweaking his own nipples that is.

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Fahry Hamzah (ranked 3150 p4p, 175 weight class) and Peter McGowan (ranked 7021 p4p, 266 weight class). Fahry Hamzah had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 136.0lbs, 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. Peter McGowan is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
