Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Chris Pritchett (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ummer Iqbal (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Pritchett's entrance music is Protect your neck. A fine choice. Iqbal has chosen Run This Town as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Chris Pritchett had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.0lbs, 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. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
