Undercard bout

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Blaise Bxin (ranked 5792 p4p, 3581 weight class) and Evert Norddahl (ranked 403 p4p, 311 weight class). Blaise Bxin had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 147.0lbs, 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. Blaise Bxin has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
