Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Jack Sharp (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Pascal Amyotte (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sharp comes to the cage accompanied by Toxic Holocaust - Nuke The Cross. Jack Sharp 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. Pascal Amyotte is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
