Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Kaine Abelsons (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hakim Richards (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kaine Abelsons had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.4lbs, 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. Hakim Richards told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
