Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Ken Waller (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Monokio Mow (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mow has chosen Genesis as his entrance music. Ken Waller had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.2lbs, 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. I don't know about you partner, but I'm pumped for this one!
