Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Harrikarri Atlasmarmori (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tony Tombstone (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Harrikarri Atlasmarmori 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. Harrikarri Atlasmarmori could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Tony Tombstone's chin.
