Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Rene Vesque (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Alexander Macedon III (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rene Vesque had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 187.4lbs, 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. Rene Vesque is staring across the cage at his opponent, tweaking his nipples... Tweaking his own nipples that is.

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Stand Bang (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Daley Bornstein (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).
