Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Chris Cash (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Alexandre Burrows (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chris Cash had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.1lbs, 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. Alexandre Burrows has the power to score a knockout today if he connects clean with Chris Cash's chin.
