Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Jason Connor (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bodalicious Smithers (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jason Connor had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 146.3lbs, 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 really staring eachother down here, as Bodalicious Smithers enters the cage!

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Mustaf Fengap (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Henry Temple (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mustaf Fengap had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 136.6lbs, 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. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
