Undercard bout

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Low Qui (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and James Hetfield (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Low Qui had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 136.3lbs, 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. Well, the cameraman is lingering on a pretty young lady for a bit too long there. Keep your eyes on the prize buddy or you'll miss the fighter intros!
