Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Shay Deeh (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and The Wrestler (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Shay Deeh had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 187.2lbs, 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. This should be a great matchup!
