Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Thiago Anderson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Michael Chan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Anderson might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Nelly - Here comes the Boom. Thiago Anderson had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.1lbs, 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. Over to our ring announcer for the fighter introductions!
