Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Duece Delta (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Stig Karlsson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Delta comes to the cage accompanied by the tough guy song. Karlsson is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Raappana - Sensimilla. Duece Delta had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 187.0lbs, 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. The key to victory for Duece Delta has got to be keeping the fight on the feet.
