Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between CA Bova (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Brad Badd Azz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Badd Azz has chosen I Came To Bring The Pain as his entrance music. CA Bova had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 136.2lbs, 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. Over to our ring announcer for the fighter introductions!
