Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Johnny Quid (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kazuyuki Takimoto (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Quid comes to the cage accompanied by The Wicker Man. Takimoto has chosen Instrumental as his entrance music. Both these guys are coming into the fight with injuries so let's see if that has a bearing on the fight. Johnny Quid had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.3lbs, 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. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
