Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Young City Grappler (ranked 4267 p4p, 4936 weight class) and Carlitos Way (ranked 395 p4p, 422 weight class). Young City Grappler had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.3lbs, 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. Over to our ring announcer for the fighter introductions!
