Undercard bout

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Diesel Noi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bob Eatthedragon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Diesel Noi had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 147.1lbs, 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. Diesel Noi has a significant reach advantage - let's see if he can make it count.
