Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Alex Rouge (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Chance Spong (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Alex Rouge had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.9lbs, 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. Alex Rouge could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Chance Spong's chin.
