Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Lionel Beaubois (ranked 5114 p4p, 236 weight class) and Alan Markov (ranked 7916 p4p, 298 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Markov's choice of entrance music: Jay Bling - Aye. Lionel Beaubois had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 136.2lbs, 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. Buckle up people - heeeeeeeeeere we go!
