Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Phil Poison (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sid Shuck (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Poison comes to the cage accompanied by Kanye West - Amazing. Sid Shuck struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 171.6lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. Fingers crossed for an exciting fight - I'm sure both fighters are looking for a nice under the table bonus!
