Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Jeffrey Jones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gabriel Shepard (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gabriel Shepard struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 171.4lbs 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. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
