Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Redmond Barry (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rex Carver (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Barry's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Slayer - Raining Blood. Both these fighters had to take extra time to make weight as they missed the initial 205lb limit. Redmond Barry came in at 206.4 and Rex Carver came in at 206.7 but after the extra two hours, both guys managed to get within the one pound allowance. No doubt it will have affected them physically though, so let's see if that has an impact on the fight. The key to victory for Redmond Barry has got to be keeping the fight on the feet.
