Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Nkosiyapha Ngwabeni (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Brown Wilson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Wilson has chosen crazy bitch as his entrance music. Nkosiyapha Ngwabeni had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.8lbs, 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. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Brown Wilson was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
