Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Augustus Cole (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bantoo Kumari (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kumari has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. The key to victory for Augustus Cole has got to be keeping the fight on the feet.

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Trey Hills (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jojo Banzai (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Trey Hills had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.8lbs, 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 look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
