Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Marc Munoz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Drew Foster (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Munoz comes to the cage accompanied by Champions. Marc Munoz had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.7lbs, 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. Drew Foster will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
