Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Matt Luggy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Douglas Lima (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Luggy's entrance music is Smashing Pumpkins - Quiet. A fine choice. Lima has chosen DMX - Ain't no sunshine as his entrance music. Matt Luggy had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.1lbs, 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. Both fighters will be looking to make this an exciting fight for the fans, I'm sure!
