Undercard bout

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Jon Jones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Yoshimitsu Yamamoto (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Yamamoto comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Yada Yada Yada By : Tech N9ne kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Yoshimitsu Yamamoto struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 146.7lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. Jon Jones looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
