Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Snake Bite (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Scrotie McBoogerballs (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Snake Bite had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 147.2lbs, 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. Snake Bite has the edge in experience - let's see if he can make that count tonight.
