Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Karen Jarebadyan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Clifton Burner (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jarebadyan kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Electro Saiyans. Clifton Burner struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 266.1lbs 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. Clifton Burner has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
