Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Jermaine Drummond (ranked 6235 p4p, 24324 weight class) and Jerry Iommi (ranked 622 p4p, 713 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Iommi's choice of entrance music: Into The Void. Jermaine Drummond had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.4lbs, 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. The key to victory for Jermaine Drummond has got to be keeping the fight on the feet.
