Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between JB Pencil (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Matthew Apacz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Pencil comes to the cage accompanied by Second Chance. JB Pencil had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 146.0lbs, 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. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
