Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Frank Richlin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and John Dowe (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Richlin's entrance music is Real American Heroes: Mr. Losing Locker Room Reporter. A fine choice. John Dowe struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 186.7lbs 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. Well, the cameraman is lingering on a pretty young lady for a bit too long there. Keep your eyes on the fighters buddy or you'll miss the fighter intros!
