Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Daniel Carvery (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hyun Tae Kang (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Daniel Carvery 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. Hyun Tae Kang is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
