Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Jed Masilungan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Max Mad (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Masilungan comes to the cage accompanied by Bound to Violence by Hatebreed. Mad has chosen Move aside and let the man go through as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Jed Masilungan had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.6lbs, 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. Jed Masilungan has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
