Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Vince Bartone (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Anthony Pettis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bartone kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Toto Cotugno - L'italiano. Anthony Pettis struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 156.8lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. Vince Bartone has the edge in experience - let's see if he can make that count tonight.
