Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jay Yap (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lusiphur Kusanagi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Yap's entrance music is Tubthumping. A fine choice. Lusiphur Kusanagi struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 206.3lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. Man, I cannot wait for this one!
