Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Jake Hughes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Wal Vrinz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jake Hughes had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 147.9lbs, 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. Jake Hughes is staring across the cage at his opponent, tweaking his nipples... Tweaking his own nipples that is.
