Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Drew Branch (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hendrix Erlanderson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Erlanderson has chosen Voodoo Chile as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Hendrix Erlanderson struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 136.3lbs 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. Fingers crossed for an exciting fight - I'm sure both fighters are looking for a nice under the table bonus!
