Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Enrique Guerrero (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and James Katana (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Guerrero's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, I Lie, I Cheat, I Steal. Katana has chosen Baby got back as his entrance music. James Katana struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 156.9lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
