Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kosty Badzenko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ivan Tadic (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kosty Badzenko had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 206.9lbs, 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. Ivan Tadic is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Yvon Yeva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ikki Phoenix (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
