Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Conner Kent (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dexter Heisenberg (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Heisenberg has chosen Macabre - Vampire of Dusseldorf as his entrance music. Dexter Heisenberg struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 172.2lbs 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. Conner Kent has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
