Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Joe Young (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Charles Bennett (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Young's entrance music is You're The Best. A fine choice. Joe Young had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 206.5lbs, 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. Joe Young could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Charles Bennett's chin.
