Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Gajah Mada (ranked 24107 p4p, 6458 weight class) and Mauricio Figueira (ranked 681 p4p, 603 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Mada might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Fighter Mode. Gajah Mada had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 172.9lbs, 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. Over to our ring announcer for the fighter introductions!
