Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Keha Anoki (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rocco Kailea (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Anoki comes into the arena with Walking After You blaring out of the sound system. Keha Anoki had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 157.1lbs, 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. Keha Anoki looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
