Co-main event

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Chuck Morris (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and First Second (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chuck Morris had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 267.7lbs, 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. Chuck Morris looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
