Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Imgonna Yomama (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kevin Florian (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Yomama's entrance music is Wu Tang Clan - Shame On A Nigga. A fine choice. Florian has chosen Dean Martin - Ain´t that a kick in the head as his entrance music. Imgonna Yomama had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.4lbs, 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. Kevin Florian is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
