Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Boris Borzov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Reagen Penn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Borzov comes to the cage accompanied by Smoke Drank. Boris Borzov had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.2lbs, 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. Buckle up people - heeeeeeeeeere we go!
