Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between JJ King (ranked 3283 p4p, 4640 weight class) and Kenan Ali (ranked 190 p4p, 234 weight class). JJ King had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 136.2lbs, 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!
