Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Jason Shepherd (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Riki Maru (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Shepherd comes to the cage accompanied by Radioactive by Imagine Dragons Ft. Kendrick Lamar. Maru has chosen Chris Brown - Ayo as his entrance music. Riki Maru struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 186.6lbs 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 Riki Maru was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
