Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Cain Cormeir (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Richard Exlax (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Cormeir comes to the cage accompanied by -N- The Bay. Cain Cormeir had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 207.0lbs, 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. Cain Cormeir had a look across the cage there at his opponent. He definitely means business
