Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Aleksandar Kajmakoski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Salvador Machima (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Both these fighters had to take extra time to make weight as they missed the initial 135lb limit. Aleksandar Kajmakoski came in at 136.7 and Salvador Machima came in at 137.0 but after the extra two hours, both guys managed to get within the one pound allowance. No doubt it will have affected them physically though, so let's see if that has an impact on the fight. On his way into the cage it seems that Aleksandar Kajmakoski has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Aleksandar Kajmakoski seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Joey Vera (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sonny Dunlop (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Vera might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Weightless by All Time Low. Sonny Dunlop has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
