Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Dominick Bowles (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Taurean Johnson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bowles comes to the cage accompanied by War Machine . Johnson comes into a darkened arena with his song building. AC DC Thunderstruck kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Dominick Bowles had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 137.5lbs, 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. Dominick Bowles has a significant reach advantage - let's see if he can make it count.
