Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Adam Axon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Damian Nitschke (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Adam Axon had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 172.0lbs, 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. Adam Axon looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
