Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Andrew Payne (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Pen Pen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Payne comes to the ring accompanied by Ice Ice baby. Andrew Payne had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 136.1lbs, 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. Andrew Payne could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Pen Pen's chin.
