Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Sisi Taille (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ryder Brown (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Brown comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Straight Outta Compton kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Sisi Taille had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 147.1lbs, 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. Over to our ring announcer for the fighter introductions!
