Undercard bout

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Evan Gauge (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Juan Jimenez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jimenez has chosen Twinz as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Evan Gauge had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 147.1lbs, 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. Evan Gauge has the edge in experience - let's see if he can make that count tonight.

Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Donas Donicas (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Herman Lang (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Donicas comes to the cage accompanied by Hyperpower - NIN. Donas Donicas had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 187.1lbs, 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. Donas Donicas looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
