Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Marco Polo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Abdul Raziq (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Marco Polo had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.1lbs, 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. Abdul Raziq has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
