Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Radomir Ilic (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Daniel Carvery (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ilic's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, I’d Love to Knock the Hell out of You. Daniel Carvery struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 186.6lbs 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. Daniel Carvery is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
