Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Graeme Souness (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Shunsuke Yamamoto (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Shunsuke Yamamoto struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 206.1lbs 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. Shunsuke Yamamoto is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
