Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Ickey Woods (ranked 2664 p4p, 143 weight class) and Bryson Pico (ranked 2109 p4p, 115 weight class). Woods kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is System of a Down- Chop Suey. Pico has chosen Lowkey - G-Eazy as his entrance music. Bryson Pico struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 136.7lbs 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. The fight MMA fans around the world have waited their entire lives for!
