Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Vago Silva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Remish Demarco (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Vago Silva had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 157.2lbs, 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. Remish Demarco will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
