Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Francis Castiglione (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Brad Cunningham (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Castiglione's entrance music is War Zone - Rob Zombie. A fine choice. Cunningham is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Disturbed - Conflict . Francis Castiglione had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.4lbs, 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. Over to our ring announcer for the fighter introductions!
