Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Eddie Lainey (ranked 4260 p4p, 414 weight class) and Remy Lacroix (ranked 2196 p4p, 239 weight class). Eddie Lainey had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.4lbs, 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. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
