Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Saleh Hassan (ranked 23983 p4p, 615 weight class) and Nick Dual (ranked 23586 p4p, 621 weight class). Saleh Hassan had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.5lbs, 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. This should be a great matchup!
