Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Cory Brown (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Konsta Pylkkanen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Cory Brown had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 266.3lbs, 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. We have two fighters making their debuts here, so let's see who comes out of this one with their first professional victory.
