Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Dick Hertz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Josef Jaeger (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hertz comes to the cage accompanied by PORN MUZIK. Dick Hertz had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 146.6lbs, 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. The key to victory for Dick Hertz has got to be keeping the fight on the feet.
