Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Shane Rik (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jackson Briggs (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rik's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, The walking dead. Shane Rik 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. Buckle up people - heeeeeeeeeere we go!
