Undercard bout

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Russell Brand (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bert Compton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Brand's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Russell Brand and Katie Perry. Russell Brand had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 146.1lbs, 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. Bert Compton will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
