TL Fight Night 29 PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Charles Jackson had a terrible time trying to make weight. After initially coming in at 150.0, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. Stepping on the scales for a second time, he still failed to make the required weight and after much deliberation, his fight with Steven Maxwell was cancelled. |

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Robo Sixteenthethird (ranked 3563 p4p, 3532 weight class) and Darko Doncic (ranked 271 p4p, 269 weight class). On his way into the cage it seems that Robo Sixteenthethird has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Robo Sixteenthethird seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
