Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Pierwszy Ostatni (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Cormac Whelan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Whelan comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Bonny Portmore kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Pierwszy Ostatni had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.3lbs, 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. Cormac Whelan will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
