Undercard bout

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between George Huang (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hanz Stokenhizer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Huang comes to the cage accompanied by Special Agent Huang. Stokenhizer comes into a darkened arena with his song building. The Lucky Bullets "Cross the Line" kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! George Huang had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 136.1lbs, 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. This should be fireworks!
