Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Franjy Izgrate (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bruce Phillips (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Franjy Izgrate had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 207.3lbs, 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. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
