Undercard bout

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Iron Chancellor (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Xavier Cid (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chancellor kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Amon Tobin / El Cargo. The crowd seem to be enjoying Cid's choice of entrance music: There's No Home for You Here. Xavier Cid struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 147.4lbs 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. Xavier Cid has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
