Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Will Ma (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Chudel Penaflorida (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ma comes to the cage accompanied by Emmure - When Keeping It Real Goes Wrong. Will Ma had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.1lbs, 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. Will Ma looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Rudi Dassler (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tamias Poochyena (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Dassler comes to the cage accompanied by Ticon - The Programmer. Poochyena has chosen This Life - Curtis Stigers & The Forest Rangers as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Rudi Dassler has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Rudi Dassler seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
