Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Edoardo Bertolone (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jayson Rodriguez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Bertolone might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to The Fight song - Marylin Manson. Rodriguez has chosen So Cold By Breaking Benjamin as his entrance music. Edoardo Bertolone had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 137.5lbs, 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. Both fighters really staring eachother down here, as Jayson Rodriguez enters the cage!
