Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Carl Tyson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Marcel Oetztuerk (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Carl Tyson had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.8lbs, 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. Marcel Oetztuerk has the power to score a knockout today if he connects clean with Carl Tyson's chin.
