Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Yodsaenklai Fairtex (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Christopher Maine (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Maine has a pretty significant injury - he really shouldn't be fighting right now but he's a warrior and he's here none the less! Christopher Maine struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 171.3lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
