Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Karrion Vitar (ranked 3360 p4p, 3998 weight class) and Jack Grimm (ranked 415 p4p, 482 weight class). Both these fighters had to take extra time to make weight as they missed the initial 170lb limit. Karrion Vitar came in at 171.6 and Jack Grimm came in at 171.6 but after the extra two hours, both guys managed to get within the one pound allowance. No doubt it will have affected them physically though, so let's see if that has an impact on the fight. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Jack Grimm was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
