Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Tayfun Demir (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and C G E Warfield (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Tayfun Demir had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.3lbs, 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. Tayfun Demir has the edge in experience - let's see if he can make that count tonight.
