Undercard bout

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Prof Baltazar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jari Tervasuo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Tervasuo is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Snoop Dogg Feat. Nate Dogg & Xzibit - Bitch Please. Prof Baltazar had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 147.8lbs, 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. Jari Tervasuo will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
