Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Ricardo DeSonto (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Victor Brown (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ricardo DeSonto had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.7lbs, 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 Ricardo DeSonto has got to be keeping the fight on the feet.
