Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Wanderlei Williams (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bobby Undertaker (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Wanderlei Williams had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.5lbs, 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. Bobby Undertaker has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
