Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Hio Kint (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Evan Henderson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hio Kint had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 157.2lbs, 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. Evan Henderson has the power to score a knockout today if he connects clean with Hio Kint's chin.
