Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Jesus Torres (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Thomas Anderson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jesus Torres had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 147.6lbs, 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. Jesus Torres has the edge in experience - let's see if he can make that count tonight.
