Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Daryl Escarpe (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Absten Brews (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Daryl Escarpe had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.7lbs, 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. Absten Brews has the power to score a knockout today if he connects clean with Daryl Escarpe's chin.
