Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Takeshi Miike (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Oscar Diaz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Diaz's choice of entrance music: Trick Daddy - Let's Go ft Twista & Lil Jon. Diaz has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Takeshi Miike had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 137.6lbs, 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. Both fighters will be looking to make this an exciting fight for the fans, I'm sure!

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Daniel Dumile (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bee Killah (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Dumile comes to the cage accompanied by Doomsday. Both these fighters had to take extra time to make weight as they missed the initial 265lb limit. Daniel Dumile came in at 266.6 and Bee Killah came in at 266.1 but after the extra two hours, both guys managed to get within the one pound allowance. No doubt it will have affected them physically though, so let's see if that has an impact on the fight. 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.
