Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Craig Anderson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jack Bauer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jack Bauer struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 147.1lbs 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. Jack Bauer will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.
