Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Lamont Banner (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Denton Daley (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Daley has chosen Danger as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Lamont Banner had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 206.1lbs, 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. Lamont Banner looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
