Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Izzy Bangin (ranked 3359 p4p, 3961 weight class) and Kenlow Enlow (ranked 352 p4p, 383 weight class). Enlow has chosen This Is Absolution as his entrance music. Izzy Bangin had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.7lbs, 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!
