Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Don Serbo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Brandon Burnett (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Serbo might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to white eyes. Don Serbo had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.7lbs, 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. Man, I cannot wait for this one!
