Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Forrest Gump (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bapit Pradchapet (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gump's entrance music is mama always said. A fine choice. Pradchapet is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Wanted Dead or Alive. Forrest Gump had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.9lbs, 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. Forrest Gump could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Bapit Pradchapet's chin.
