Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Tommy Shelby (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Carter Jose De La Cus (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jose De La Cus has chosen Jay Z -Takeover as his entrance music. Tommy Shelby had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 146.2lbs, 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. Carter Jose De La Cus has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
