Undercard bout

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Malcolm King (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Suu Kii (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Malcolm King had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 146.1lbs, 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. 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?
