Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Tyron Woody (ranked 6641 p4p, 523 weight class) and Levi Biddings (ranked 8418 p4p, 581 weight class). Levi Biddings struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 171.4lbs 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. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Lachlan Myers (ranked 22769 p4p, 470 weight class) and Bruce White Jr (ranked 3939 p4p, 296 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Myers might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to The Soldier's Song. Lachlan Myers had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 146.2lbs, 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. Fingers crossed for an exciting fight - I'm sure both fighters are looking for a nice under the table bonus!
