Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Marcus Hansen (ranked 2235 p4p, 2128 weight class) and Michael Cudlitz (ranked 282 p4p, 272 weight class). Hansen comes to the cage accompanied by Black Sabbath - Iron Man. Michael Cudlitz struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 171.1lbs 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. Marcus Hansen has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
