Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Aloe Toosh (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Fernando Ranallo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Toosh might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to dollar. Aloe Toosh had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 157.6lbs, 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. Aloe Toosh could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Fernando Ranallo's chin.
