Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Hector Jiminez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tom Wopat (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jiminez comes to the cage accompanied by Big pun - Beware. Hector Jiminez had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.4lbs, 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. Hector Jiminez has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
