Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Joshua Syracuse (ranked 7747 p4p, 636 weight class) and Aguta Grizzly (ranked 6118 p4p, 592 weight class). Joshua Syracuse had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 206.3lbs, 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. Joshua Syracuse has the edge in experience - let's see if he can make that count tonight.
