Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Cron Spliffton (ranked 2312 p4p, 314 weight class) and Billy West (ranked 1036 p4p, 154 weight class). West has chosen Rebelution - So High as his entrance music. Billy West struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 206.1lbs 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. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Billy West was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
