Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Arjan Boudewijn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Alexandre Rivet (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Boudewijn's entrance music is The Search for the Holy Grail. A fine choice. Arjan Boudewijn had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 187.0lbs, 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. Well, I have no idea who's going to take this one!
