Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Alejandro Martinez (ranked 4292 p4p, 4066 weight class) and Trey Daniel (ranked 511 p4p, 495 weight class). Alejandro Martinez had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 187.0lbs, 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. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Trey Daniel was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
