Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight kickboxing rules bout between Bobby Knuckles (ranked 1594 p4p, 1049 weight class) and Nils Norling (ranked 196 p4p, 128 weight class). Bobby Knuckles had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.0lbs, 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 don't know about you partner, but I'm pumped for this one!
