Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between James Wang Jr (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Danny Studge (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Wang Jr comes to the cage accompanied by Gucci Snakes. James Wang Jr had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.3lbs, 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. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
