Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Sir Beocca (ranked 24520 p4p, 3332 weight class) and Jameel Johnson (ranked 531 p4p, 392 weight class). Beocca comes to the cage accompanied by Alok & Mojjo - Love Love feat. Gilsons. Sir Beocca had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.1lbs, 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. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
