Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between John Tiger (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Calvin Greenbud (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). John Tiger had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 146.2lbs, 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. Over to our ring announcer for the fighter introductions!
