Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Spinning Fire (ranked 2334 p4p, 5285 weight class) and Nathan Leal (ranked 277 p4p, 504 weight class). Spinning Fire had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 266.1lbs, 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. Well, I have no idea who's going to take this one!
