Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Vanilla Ice (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jerman Jone (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Vanilla Ice had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.6lbs, 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. Vanilla Ice has the edge in experience - let's see if he can make that count tonight.
