Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Tony Robins (ranked 1232 p4p, 1843 weight class) and Dylan Jacobson Ill (ranked 116 p4p, 155 weight class). Dylan Jacobson Ill struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 147.0lbs 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. Well, the cameraman is lingering on a pretty young lady for a bit too long there. Keep your eyes on the prize buddy or you'll miss the fighter intros!
