Main event

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Peter Park (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Baby Dynamite (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Peter Park had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 187.4lbs, 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. Baby Dynamite will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
