Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Tyson Boggs (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jeff Smith (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Boggs might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to "Miami Vice Theme" by Jan Hammer. Tyson Boggs had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.2lbs, 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. Over to our ring announcer for the fighter introductions!
