Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Joe Jackson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Brawl Leer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Brawl Leer struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 156.2lbs 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. Brawl Leer will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Pavel Burov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jeffy Jefferson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Burov kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Russian Rocket. Jefferson has chosen Fette's Vette as his entrance music. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
