Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Zach Killer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ricaro Jones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jones has chosen RENEGADE MASTER as his entrance music. Zach Killer had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 172.4lbs, 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. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
