Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Dalton Swas (ranked 4140 p4p, 6680 weight class) and Admir Bosnic (ranked 441 p4p, 552 weight class). Dalton Swas had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 266.2lbs, 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. Admir Bosnic has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
