Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Tony Draco (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Elrod Heimbach (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Tony Draco had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.2lbs, 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. Elrod Heimbach has the eye of the tiger tonight.
