Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Punski Nub (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Yourn Rotterdam Jr (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rotterdam Jr comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Lil Wayne - Right Above It feat. Drake kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Punski Nub had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 267.2lbs, 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. Punski Nub has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
