Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Alun Warburton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Marek Levy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Alun Warburton had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.6lbs, 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. We have two fighters making their debuts here, so let's see who comes out of this one with their first professional victory.
