Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Ricky Alvarez (ranked 2820 p4p, 4605 weight class) and Herschel Pettaway Jr (ranked 336 p4p, 453 weight class). Ricky Alvarez had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.4lbs, 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. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
