Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Joey Bob Potatohauler (ranked 3132 p4p, 3156 weight class) and Nage Sorthcutt (ranked 442 p4p, 447 weight class). Joey Bob Potatohauler had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 187.7lbs, 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. This should be a great matchup!
