Undercard bout

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Edwin Valdez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hofniel Apollyon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hofniel Apollyon struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 147.0lbs 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. Hofniel Apollyon will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
