Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Mattia Muzio (ranked 6210 p4p, 3727 weight class) and Marcus Shakes (ranked 582 p4p, 410 weight class). Muzio's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Pray for Me. Shakes has chosen About the Money- T.I. as his entrance music. Mattia Muzio had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.7lbs, 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!
