Undercard bout

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Nikolai Nation (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mookie Magaba (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Magaba is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Three Days Grace - Animal I Have Become . Nikolai Nation had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 147.0lbs, 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 crowd giving both fighters a great reception on their way into the arena. That's good to see.
