Undercard bout

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Jose Aldo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Luis Fabiano (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jose Aldo had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 136.6lbs, 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. Luis Fabiano is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
