Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Sean Shepard (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Pat Pong (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sean Shepard had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 137.8lbs, 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. Pat Pong is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
