Undercard bout

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Tazigaki Miyamoto (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ken Hansen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Miyamoto comes to the cage accompanied by Won't Get Fooled Again. Tazigaki Miyamoto had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 146.0lbs, 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. Man, I cannot wait for this one!
