Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between JP Benn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Maz InCaz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Benn might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Icarus by Hopesfall. Maz InCaz struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 156.5lbs 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. I can't wait for this one - let's get the fighter introductions out of the way and get this one started!
