Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Brett Henderson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Renaldo Vega (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Brett Henderson had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.3lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight.
