Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Steve Vega (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ktm Power (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ktm Power struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 157.1lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. Ktm Power has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
