Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Kenny Smith (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Daniel McKillop (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). McKillop comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Quasimoto - Green Power kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Daniel McKillop struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 156.8lbs 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. Kenny Smith has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
