Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Rhys Frazier (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Pierre Letang (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rhys Frazier had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 146.1lbs, 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. Both fighters look pumped up here. Let's hope this is a good fight!
