Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Amadeus Astra (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Peppin Larter (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Astra comes into the arena with Once in a Lifetime blaring out of the sound system. Larter is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Analiese. Peppin Larter struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 156.1lbs 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. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
