Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between John Howard (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ludovic Presle (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Howard comes into the arena with Manafest - Fire In The Kitchen blaring out of the sound system. Ludovic Presle struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 207.1lbs 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. 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.
