Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Juice Malone (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Demarcus Quinn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Malone's entrance music is B.O.B.. A fine choice. Juice Malone had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 146.1lbs, 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. Demarcus Quinn has the power to score a knockout today if he connects clean with Juice Malone's chin.
