Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Giuseppe Hopkins (ranked 117 p4p, 79 weight class) and Joe Exotic (ranked 18 p4p, 11 weight class). Exotic has chosen Joe Exotic - I Saw a Tiger as his entrance music. Giuseppe Hopkins had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.1lbs, 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. Joe Exotic told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
