Undercard bout

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Malvin Maldi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Konstantin Snegov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Maldi's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Loituma TECHNO!. Malvin Maldi had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 147.1lbs, 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. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
