Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Erin Melcher (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mark Palmer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Both these fighters had to take extra time to make weight as they missed the initial 155lb limit. Erin Melcher came in at 156.1 and Mark Palmer came in at 157.1 but after the extra two hours, both guys managed to get within the one pound allowance. No doubt it will have affected them physically though, so let's see if that has an impact on the fight. Mark Palmer is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
