Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Adam Gaziev (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Denes Belzen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Adam Gaziev had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.3lbs, 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. The key to victory for Adam Gaziev has got to be keeping the fight on the feet.
