Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Kustaa Pohjanala (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and James Katana (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Pohjanala might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to AC/DC - Hard as a Rock. The crowd seem to be enjoying Katana's choice of entrance music: Baby got back. James Katana struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 146.1lbs 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. Fingers crossed for an exciting fight - I'm sure both fighters are looking for a nice under the table bonus!
