Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Phill Brooks (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Android Eighteen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Brooks comes to the cage accompanied by Cult Of Personailty. Phill Brooks had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 157.7lbs, 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. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
