Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mykal Zulu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mij Neztil (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Zulu might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Shyne ft. Barrington Levy - Bad Boyz. Mykal Zulu had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 206.6lbs, 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. This should be a great matchup!
