Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between John Crawley (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Charlie Tune (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Tune's choice of entrance music: Master of Puppets (8-BIT). Crawley is coming into this fight with a significant injury, which will no doubt have an effect on his cardio. John Crawley had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.3lbs, 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. This should be a great matchup!
