Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Jerome Tucker (ranked 2952 p4p, 2982 weight class) and Panfilo Acerbi (ranked 367 p4p, 369 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Tucker might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Ave Maria. Acerbi is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Boom Boom Boom Boom - Venga Boys. Jerome Tucker had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 157.3lbs, 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. The atmosphere really building for this one as we go over to our ring announcer for the fighter introductions!
