Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Joe Walcott (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hu Hichu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Joe Walcott had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 206.7lbs, 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. Joe Walcott has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
