Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Khabib Mebab (ranked 3801 p4p, 2336 weight class) and Lindsey Wofford (ranked 245 p4p, 167 weight class). Mebab comes to the cage accompanied by Some. Khabib Mebab had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 146.5lbs, 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. Well, the cameraman is lingering on a pretty young lady for a bit too long there. Keep your eyes on the prize buddy or you'll miss the fighter intros!
