Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Fausto Carsara (ranked 1973 p4p, 1429 weight class) and Kure Takenao (ranked 240 p4p, 177 weight class). Carsara comes to the cage accompanied by E'sord Luché. Fausto Carsara had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.2lbs, 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. The crowd giving both fighters a great reception on their way into the arena. That's good to see.
