Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mamodev Orlosanko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Frank Ricard (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Orlosanko comes to the cage accompanied by Enae Volare Mezzo. Ricard is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Frank The Tank. Mamodev Orlosanko had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 267.0lbs, 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. Well, the cameraman is lingering on a pretty young lady for a bit too long there. Keep your eyes on the fighters buddy or you'll miss the fighter intros!
