Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Florencio Bernardo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jesse Jones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bernardo's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Una Vela. Jesse Jones struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 171.6lbs 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. Florencio Bernardo is staring across the cage at his opponent, tweaking his nipples... Tweaking his own nipples that is.
