Undercard bout

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Kix Rus (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kostya Tszyu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Tszyu has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Kostya Tszyu struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 147.2lbs 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. Kix Rus has a significant reach advantage - let's see if he can make it count.

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Yodsaenklai Fairtex (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Guillermo Penderas (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Yodsaenklai Fairtex had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.1lbs, 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. Yodsaenklai Fairtex had a look across the cage there at his opponent. He definitely means business

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Mike Angelo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Masakatsu Ueda (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ueda has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. On his way into the cage it seems that Mike Angelo has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Mike Angelo seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
