Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Saifullah Gaziev (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ivan Isaev (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Both these fighters had to take extra time to make weight as they missed the initial 155lb limit. Saifullah Gaziev came in at 156.6 and Ivan Isaev came in at 156.3 but after the extra two hours, both guys managed to get within the one pound allowance. No doubt it will have affected them physically though, so let's see if that has an impact on the fight. Ivan Isaev is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
