Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Hans Krueger (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Toma Takahara (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hans Krueger had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.8lbs, 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. Toma Takahara has the power to score a knockout today if he connects clean with Hans Krueger's chin.

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Montel Agious (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lars Limmer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Agious's entrance music is Hell Yeah - Rev Theory. A fine choice. Limmer is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Fucking In The Bushes - Oasis. Montel Agious looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
