Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Tiger Khan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Andelko Antun (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Tiger Khan had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 157.5lbs, 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. I don't know about you partner, but I'm pumped for this one!
