Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Asad Uzoglivic (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ryan Gailfus (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Asad Uzoglivic had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 157.6lbs, 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. Ryan Gailfus has the power to score a knockout today if he connects clean with Asad Uzoglivic's chin.
