Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Daniel Dumile (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jacob Bryan Batungbakal (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Dumile's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Doomsday. Daniel Dumile had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 266.7lbs, 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. Daniel Dumile has a significant reach advantage - let's see if he can make it count.
