Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Pauly D (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Alexander Seletzsky (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Seletzsky has chosen Viva Colonia! as his entrance music. Pauly D had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 146.8lbs, 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. Over to our ring announcer for the fighter introductions!
