Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Richard Kuklinski (ranked 4207 p4p, 459 weight class) and Marcus Lima (ranked 5077 p4p, 520 weight class). Richard Kuklinski had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 187.1lbs, 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. Over to our ring announcer for the fighter introductions!
