Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Raven Harris (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Wiley Kilgore (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Kilgore's choice of entrance music: Road Runner. Wiley Kilgore struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 157.9lbs 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. Both these guys have solid standup skills and neither is particularly fantastic on the ground, so let's hope for a nice standup war!

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Alex Rouge (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Chance Spong (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Alex Rouge had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.1lbs, 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. Alex Rouge has a significant reach advantage - let's see if he can make it count.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Taw DawTang (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Case Walker (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). DawTang comes to the cage accompanied by Imperial March. Walker is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by ˇMAYDAY! - Last One Standing (feat. Tech N9ne). Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
