Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Medin Sirovica (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Anders Tolborg (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Tolborg has chosen Because I Got High as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Medin Sirovica had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 206.3lbs, 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. I can't wait for this one - let's get the fighter introductions out of the way and get this one started!
