Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Big Oh (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Beata Fiszer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Beata Fiszer struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 171.3lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. Beata Fiszer told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
