Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Remington Hallow (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Krysta Neumann (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Remington Hallow had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 137.2lbs, 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 look pumped up here. Let's hope this is a good fight!

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Ross Ocipzak (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jesse Reeding (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Reeding has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Jesse Reeding will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
