Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Hossam El Masry (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Putra Rajasa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Putra Rajasa struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 171.5lbs 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. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Putra Rajasa was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
