Undercard bout

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Jonny Knoxville (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bubba Willis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jonny Knoxville had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 137.2lbs, 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!
