Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between TJ Hardy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Richard Redhair (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). TJ Hardy had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.6lbs, 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. On his way into the cage it seems that TJ Hardy has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily TJ Hardy seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between David Currie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sinuhe Egyptian (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Currie might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Helmet - Just Another Victim. Egyptian has chosen Reckless Love -Romance as his entrance music. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
