Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between PK Primape (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Thunder Hands (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Primape comes to the cage accompanied by Pokemon Rap. PK Primape had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 136.9lbs, 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. This should be fireworks!
