Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Andy Thug (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Peter Poirier (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Poirier has chosen INTRO - DMX as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Andy Thug had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 206.1lbs, 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. Andy Thug is staring across the cage at his opponent, tweaking his nipples... Tweaking his own nipples that is.
