Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Grandmaster Yip Man (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Pappy Boyington (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Yip Man comes to the cage accompanied by Everything in its right place- Radio Head. Grandmaster Yip Man had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 146.0lbs, 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. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
