Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Amir Khan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gino Cameretti (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Khan comes to the cage accompanied by Knockin Niggas Out. Gino Cameretti struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 156.3lbs 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. Amir Khan has the edge in experience - let's see if he can make that count tonight.
