Undercard bout

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Paul Turrett (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dave Benevides (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Turrett comes into the arena with Criticize blaring out of the sound system. Paul Turrett had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 146.5lbs, 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. Paul Turrett looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
