Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between John Lee (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mike Bennett (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lee kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genuis that is Kung Fu Fighting. Bennett has chosen Stronger, Kanye West as his entrance music. John Lee had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 146.9lbs, 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. John Lee has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
