Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Dwighd Shrude (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Syntha Six (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Dwighd Shrude had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 206.0lbs, 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. Syntha Six is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Davis Bloome (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ulric Hallestrom (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hallestrom has chosen With Oden On Our Side - Amon Amarth as his entrance music. 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.
