Undercard bout

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Kyle Trepanier (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and James Laurent (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Trepanier comes to the cage accompanied by Gimme Shelter-Rolling Stones. Laurent has chosen Megadeth - Symphony of Destruction as his entrance music. Kyle Trepanier had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 136.5lbs, 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. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
