Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Jason Duseki (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Adolf Hitler (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hitler has chosen DMX - Ain't no sunshine as his entrance music. Adolf Hitler struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 136.2lbs 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. Jason Duseki has the edge in experience - let's see if he can make that count tonight.
