Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Izzy Bangin (ranked 3027 p4p, 3769 weight class) and Xavier Sherman (ranked 303 p4p, 358 weight class). Izzy Bangin had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 157.0lbs, 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. Both fighters really staring each other down here, as Xavier Sherman enters the cage!
