Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Cranio Pharyngioma (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jimmy Crack Corn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Crack Corn is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Jimmy crack corn and I dont care. Jimmy Crack Corn struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 157.2lbs 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. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
