Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Jin Kazama (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Barney Barnaby (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kazama comes into the arena with 12 Stones - Adrenaline blaring out of the sound system. Barnaby has chosen Hold You Tight as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Jin Kazama had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.7lbs, 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. Barney Barnaby is staring across the cage at his opponent, tweaking his nipples.
