Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Randy Randalman (ranked 1221 p4p, 2009 weight class) and Roman Kos (ranked 179 p4p, 260 weight class). Randalman comes to the cage accompanied by Creedence Clearwater - Fortunate Son. Randy Randalman had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 157.3lbs, 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. Fingers crossed for an exciting fight - I'm sure both fighters are looking for a nice under the table bonus!
