Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Bas Rutten (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Idris Omar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Omar comes into a darkened arena with his song building. adu-kein scherz kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Bas Rutten had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.0lbs, 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. Idris Omar has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
