Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Rob Base (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Drake Younger (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Younger is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Broken Bones by Nonpoint . Drake Younger struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 206.4lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. Fingers crossed for an exciting fight - I'm sure both fighters are looking for a nice under the table bonus!
