Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Bill Lee (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and El Chat (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bill Lee had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.0lbs, 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 key to victory for Bill Lee has got to be keeping the fight on the feet.
