Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Cory Steel (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Choo Chopeng (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Steel's entrance music is Immortal Technique-Point of no return. A fine choice. Choo Chopeng struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 207.4lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
