Undercard bout

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Doc Morbid (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Eric Draven (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Morbid comes to the cage accompanied by Duran Duran - Wild Boys. Doc Morbid had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 136.3lbs, 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. This should be a great matchup!
