Undercard bout

| Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Joe Peeps (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Chaz Storm (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Peeps comes to the cage accompanied by Beastie Boys - Sabotage . Chaz Storm struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 136.8lbs 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.
