Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Brian Claremont (ranked 25039 p4p, 466 weight class) and Jacob Graham (ranked 23934 p4p, 480 weight class). Jacob Graham struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 146.1lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
