Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Forrest Griffinn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Darius Jackson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jackson has chosen Out Here Grindin-DJ Khaled as his entrance music. Darius Jackson struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 171.4lbs 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. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Klem Patterson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Justin Campbell (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Klem Patterson had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.1lbs, 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. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
