Undercard bout

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Damien Redman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Richard Cottingham (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Redman's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Put Your Lights On . Richard Cottingham struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 146.3lbs 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. The crowd giving both fighters a great reception on their way into the arena. That's good to see.
