Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Cosmo Oarsman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kalle Kolmiokuristus (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kolmiokuristus has chosen bad boy - cascada as his entrance music. Cosmo Oarsman 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. Cosmo Oarsman looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
