Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Chris Gale (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kerry Mcgee (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mcgee comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Superman's Worst Nightmare kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Chris Gale had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 206.7lbs, 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. Kerry Mcgee is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
