Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Jacob Laws (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rich Van Winkle (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jacob Laws had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 157.4lbs, 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. Rich Van Winkle is staring across the cage at his opponent, tweaking his nipples.
