Undercard bout

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Kris Capers (ranked 4684 p4p, 201 weight class) and Juan Dela Cruz (ranked 7254 p4p, 242 weight class). Kris Capers had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 136.5lbs, 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. Kris Capers is staring across the cage at his opponent, tweaking his nipples... Tweaking his own nipples that is.
