Undercard bout

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Jordan Simon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Shin Yamaguchi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jordan Simon had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 146.0lbs, 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. Shin Yamaguchi has the eye of the tiger tonight.
