Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Rolo Pup (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Terry Zebadee (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Pup's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Stone Cold. Rolo Pup had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 206.1lbs, 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 atmosphere really building for this one as we go over to our ring announcer for the fighter introductions!
