Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Doko Dokov (ranked 2760 p4p, 2851 weight class) and Motshan Bogachev (ranked 293 p4p, 305 weight class). Doko Dokov had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.8lbs, 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. Buckle up people - heeeeeeeeeere we go!
