Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Shane Tanner (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gustavo Araujo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Shane Tanner had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.4lbs, 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. Shane Tanner looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
