Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Ritsuko Asuke (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jeb Russell (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ritsuko Asuke had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.2lbs, 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 featherweight MMA rules bout between Frank Cruz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Shawn Shurk (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Shurk is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Achy Breaky Heart. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Shawn Shurk was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
