Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Derek Patterson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jason Shepherd (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Shepherd has chosen Radioactive by Imagine Dragons Ft. Kendrick Lamar as his entrance music. Derek Patterson had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.5lbs, 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. The crowd giving both fighters a great reception on their way into the arena. That's good to see.
