Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Norm Diaz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Andre Tibbs (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Diaz's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Cypress Hill - Hits From The Bong. Tibbs has a pretty significant injury - he really shouldn't be fighting right now but he's a warrior and he's here none the less! Fingers crossed for an exciting fight - I'm sure both fighters are looking for a nice under the table bonus!
