Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Oliver Thompson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Harry Cederqvist (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Oliver Thompson had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.5lbs, 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. Both fighters really staring each other down here, as Harry Cederqvist enters the cage!
