Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Dan Dallas (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and GR Jones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Dallas's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Ace of Spades. GR Jones struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 206.0lbs 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. 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.
