Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Joey The Lion (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kimmo Kinnunen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Joey The Lion had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 157.9lbs, 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. Joey The Lion looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
