Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ben Shamrock (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jay Yap (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Yap's choice of entrance music: Tubthumping. Ben Shamrock had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 207.2lbs, 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. Jay Yap will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
