Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Santos Godino (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Brendon Aberdeen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Brendon Aberdeen struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 171.7lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. Brendon Aberdeen will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
