Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Daniel Do (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Joey De Andreas (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). De Andreas has chosen Rocky as his entrance music. Daniel Do 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. Joey De Andreas is staring across the cage at his opponent, tweaking his nipples.
