Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Ben Johnson (ranked 4766 p4p, 223 weight class) and Jan Jedrzejczyk (ranked 2143 p4p, 106 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Johnson might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to The Clash - This Is England. Jan Jedrzejczyk struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 136.2lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. Over to our ring announcer for the fighter introductions!
