Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Glen Danzig (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jack Stick (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Danzig comes to the cage accompanied by The Misfits- Night of the Living Dead. Glen Danzig had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 147.0lbs, 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. Glen Danzig has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
