Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Battling Bob (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Victor Belfort (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bob's entrance music is Ace of Base - Beautiful Life. A fine choice. Victor Belfort struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 188.0lbs 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. Victor Belfort will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
