Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Johny Chambers (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gurney Halleck (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Halleck has chosen The Clash-White Riot as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Gurney Halleck struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 146.1lbs 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.
