Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Aleandro Ruiz (ranked 25376 p4p, 713 weight class) and Yan Oslo (ranked 5279 p4p, 474 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Ruiz might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Gasolina - Daddy Yankee. Oslo has chosen CHILDREN OF BODOM - Trashed, Lost & Strungout as his entrance music. Aleandro Ruiz had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 173.0lbs, 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. Yan Oslo has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
