Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Lars Fightmann (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Philip Hais (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lars Fightmann had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.0lbs, 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. Lars Fightmann could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Philip Hais's chin.
