Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Rob Ramirez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and George Huang (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Huang has chosen Special Agent Huang as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Rob Ramirez had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.4lbs, 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!
