Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Anthony Pettis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Andrew Wiggin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Anthony Pettis had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 146.2lbs, 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. Anthony Pettis could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Andrew Wiggin's chin.

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Dieter Berger (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Shannon Bannon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Berger's entrance music is Cheeseburger In Paradise. A fine choice. On his way into the cage it seems that Dieter Berger has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Dieter Berger seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
