Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Bobby Hall (ranked 23537 p4p, 664 weight class) and One Fortytwo (ranked 7401 p4p, 584 weight class). Hall kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Hear Me Now - 3OH!3. Bobby Hall 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. Both fighter's entrance songs getting the crowd jumping here.
