Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between SD Plissken (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bakung Monk (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Monk has chosen X Amount of Words- Blue October as his entrance music. SD Plissken had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.4lbs, 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. Bakung Monk will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
