Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Zoe Marley (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Derick Lewis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Zoe Marley had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 267.4lbs, 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. Derick Lewis is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
