Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Thien Nakuratata (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Damian Strong (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Thien Nakuratata had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.1lbs, 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. Damian Strong has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Arnold Jacksson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Adam Jensen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jacksson's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Volbeat - Evelyn Live feat Petrov. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Adam Jensen was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
