Undercard bout

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between George Huang (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jason Shields (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Huang's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Special Agent Huang. George Huang had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 136.4lbs, 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. George Huang had a look across the cage there at his opponent. He definitely means business
