Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between James Katana (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dhe Orele (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Katana comes to the cage accompanied by Baby got back. Orele is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Ironman. James Katana had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 146.1lbs, 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 will be looking to make this an exciting fight for the fans, I'm sure!
