Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Wong Mongtong (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Billy Thompson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Mongtong might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Blackened. Billy Thompson struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 146.2lbs 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. Billy Thompson acknowledges the crowd's support as he enters the cage.
