Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Dam Kogus (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jose De Souza (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kogus comes to the cage accompanied by http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJfJbPj-51o. Dam Kogus had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 157.5lbs, 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 Dam Kogus has got to be keeping the fight on the feet.
