Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Oleg Tuzhanski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Manuel Bolivar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Manuel Bolivar struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 156.9lbs 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. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
