Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Gajah Mada (ranked 2562 p4p, 3158 weight class) and Theodore Holmstrom (ranked 313 p4p, 383 weight class). Mada comes into the arena with Fighter Mode blaring out of the sound system. Gajah Mada had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.7lbs, 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. Theodore Holmstrom has the power to score a knockout today if he connects clean with Gajah Mada's chin.
