Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Perry Van Pelt (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bret Hill (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hill has chosen Wanted Dead Or Alive by Bon Jovi as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Perry Van Pelt had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 146.3lbs, 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. Buckle up people - heeeeeeeeeere we go!
