Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between John Equinox (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Benny Allen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Benny Allen struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 136.1lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. Well, the cameraman is lingering on a pretty young lady for a bit too long there. Keep your eyes on the fighters buddy or you'll miss the fighter intros!
