Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Chance Lewis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Baldine Gracie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lewis kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Tech N9ne - Demons ( Feat Three 6 Mafia ). Baldine Gracie struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 147.3lbs 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. 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.

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Matt Spartan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kenshi Zuko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

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.
