Juodasis Vaiduoklis really struggled with his weight cut for this fight. After coming in at 149.8, he had two hours to cut the additional weight. He was unable to do so and as a result, his fight with Saggy Dinglestomper was cancelled.
So, the belt remains unclaimed. Very disappointing for everyone involved! |
