Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Dougie Diablo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Zeek Mills (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Zeek Mills struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 147.9lbs 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. Zeek Mills is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
