Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Jose Maria Olazabal (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Derek Sherinian (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jose Maria Olazabal had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 157.4lbs, 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. Derek Sherinian told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
