Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Ed Soma (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Drake Wright (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ed Soma had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.8lbs, 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.

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Steve Fox (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Darius Colston (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Colston has chosen California Love by 2pac and Dr.Dre as his entrance music. Darius Colston struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 156.9lbs 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. Darius Colston told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
