Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Brod Peck (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Robert Confortola (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Brod Peck had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.7lbs, 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. Brod Peck had a look across the cage there at his opponent. He definitely means business
