Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jerico Mendez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Xavier Oliva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Xavier Oliva struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 206.0lbs 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. I don't know about you partner, but I'm pumped for this one!
