Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Michael Hopp (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jake Foster (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Michael Hopp had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.7lbs, 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. Michael Hopp looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Amazing Game (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ivan Druzhinin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Game might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Spirit in the Sky. Druzhinin comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Kevin Rudolf - In the city kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Ivan Druzhinin acknowledges the crowd's support as he enters the cage.
