Undercard bout

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Tim Drake (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tyrone Biggum (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Tyrone Biggum struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 136.1lbs 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!
