Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Tommy Gun (ranked 3384 p4p, 165 weight class) and Dantes DeKorveia (ranked 23146 p4p, 413 weight class). Gun comes to the cage accompanied by Turbo. Dantes DeKorveia struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 137.0lbs 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. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Dantes DeKorveia was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
