Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between John Werben (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Josh Koscheck (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Werben kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Rise and fall. Josh Koscheck struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 171.7lbs 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. John Werben has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
