Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Ameri Can (ranked 22105 p4p, 2128 weight class) and Louis C K (ranked 413 p4p, 207 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Can might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to For Heavy Metal we will die!. C K has chosen Who let the dogs out as his entrance music. Louis C K struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 147.5lbs 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. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
