Undercard bout

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Lolo Delaroca (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bobby Hill (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bobby Hill struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 136.0lbs 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. Lolo Delaroca could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Bobby Hill's chin.
