Undercard bout

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Connor McGregoat (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jan Angel Echano (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Echano is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Every Thug Needs A Lady - Alkaline Trio. Connor McGregoat had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 146.0lbs, 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. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
