Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Shalak Kamir (ranked 3729 p4p, 3640 weight class) and Toyotomi Ieyasu (ranked 411 p4p, 401 weight class). Ieyasu has chosen Traitors by Homemade Weapons as his entrance music. Shalak Kamir had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 157.5lbs, 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. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
