Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Rashid Magomedov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jurmas Uusisto (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Magomedov comes into the arena with http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wauzrPn0cfg&feature=related blaring out of the sound system. Uusisto is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by System Of A Down - B.Y.O.B.. Rashid Magomedov had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.2lbs, 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. This should be fireworks!
