Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jim Dandy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Murdoch McNash (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). McNash has chosen IllEvilHater - Maniac Maggot as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Jim Dandy had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 266.2lbs, 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. Murdoch McNash is staring across the cage at his opponent, tweaking his nipples.
