Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Sher Shah Suri (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Antoine Wallace (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Wallace is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Pray by Jay-Z feat. Rob Dougan. Antoine Wallace struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 187.4lbs 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. On his way into the cage it seems that Sher Shah Suri has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Sher Shah Suri seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Ken Tentheros (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Julio El Toro (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ken Tentheros had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.1lbs, 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. This should be a great matchup!
