Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Karl Henriksen (ranked 1190 p4p, 1069 weight class) and Darren Woodley (ranked 150 p4p, 136 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Henriksen might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to OST Vikings - If I Had a Heart. Woodley has chosen Scorpions - Winds Of Change as his entrance music. Karl Henriksen had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.4lbs, 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. Man, I cannot wait for this one!
