Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Kurt The Hurt (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Andre Galvao (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The Hurt comes to the cage accompanied by Mama Said Knock You Out. Andre Galvao struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 187.1lbs 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. 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.
