Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Junior Dos Santos (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Levis Khaiseb (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Junior Dos Santos had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 187.6lbs, 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 Junior Dos Santos has got to be keeping the fight on the feet.

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Fred Ettish (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Brodie Sinclair (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ettish's entrance music is With Karate I'll Kick Your Ass. A fine choice. Sinclair has chosen as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Fred Ettish has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Fred Ettish seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
