Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Immortal Technique (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Harold Shipman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Technique comes into the arena with Eye in the sky blaring out of the sound system. Immortal Technique had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.6lbs, 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. Immortal Technique has a significant reach advantage - let's see if he can make it count.
