Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tai Won Awn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mike Smith (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Awn comes to the cage accompanied by The Bull God. Smith is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by In The Morning. Tai Won Awn had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 206.9lbs, 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. The fight MMA fans around the world have waited their entire lives for!
