Undercard bout

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Joo Sang Yoo (ranked 2005 p4p, 2473 weight class) and Nick Mcdonald (ranked 168 p4p, 203 weight class). Nick Mcdonald struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 146.4lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. Joo Sang Yoo could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Nick Mcdonald's chin.
