Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Jon Finch (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tito Santana (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jon Finch had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 172.2lbs, 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. Tito Santana is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
