Undercard bout

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Louden Hurley (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ali Johnson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hurley comes to the cage accompanied by self starter. Louden Hurley had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 136.4lbs, 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. Louden Hurley has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
