Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Devlin Juko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Marcel Mercier (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Juko's entrance music is I'm Back - T.I. A fine choice. Juko has a slight injury, which hopefully won't affect the fight too much. 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.
