Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Kyle Woopass (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hugo Gracie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gracie has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Hugo Gracie struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 156.0lbs 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. Hugo Gracie looks lathargic as he enters the arena. Wake up son, you're about to have a fight!

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Yuri Rook (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and John Karl (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Rook might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Mr Krinkle. Karl comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Dawn of Demise - Juggernaut kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
