Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Katuro Tisoaka (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Shrab Kabovik (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Tisoaka might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Festivo. Katuro Tisoaka had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 157.0lbs, 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. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Shrab Kabovik was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
