Main event

Cajun Creole had a terrible time trying to make weight. After initially coming in at 209.8, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. Stepping on the scales for a second time, he still failed to make the required weight and after much deliberation, his fight with Duannis Frank was cancelled. |
