Undercard bout

Coming up we have a featherweight kickboxing rules bout between Daryl Palumbo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hooper Smith (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Palumbo comes into the arena with A Day To Remember- Violence blaring out of the sound system. Daryl Palumbo had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 146.7lbs, 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. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
