Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Rashid Magomedov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Frankie Maynard (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Magomedov might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wauzrPn0cfg&feature=related. Maynard has chosen Bat Country as his entrance music. Rashid Magomedov had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 172.6lbs, 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. The key to victory for Rashid Magomedov has got to be keeping the fight on the feet.
