Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Sam Mack (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gordon Freeman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sam Mack had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 206.6lbs, 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. Gordon Freeman will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Dominque Destroyer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Noah Tafoya (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Dominque Destroyer had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 206.1lbs, 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. Over to our ring announcer for the fighter introductions!
