Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Jeannot Chong Starbowsky Ii (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kratos Gorkhain (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chong Starbowsky Ii comes into the arena with "SCIENCE OF THE TRIFE" blaring out of the sound system. Kratos Gorkhain struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 186.7lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Kratos Gorkhain was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
