Undercard bout

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Barney Rubble (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Chad Mendes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Rubble might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Rage Against The Machine - No Shelter. Mendes has chosen Steve McQueen as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Chad Mendes struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 136.3lbs 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. Well, the cameraman is lingering on a pretty young lady for a bit too long there. Keep your eyes on the prize buddy or you'll miss the fighter intros!
