Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Esmael Ali (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Peter Hanover (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hanover has chosen Master Of Puppets as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Peter Hanover struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 206.6lbs 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. Peter Hanover will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.
