Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Remang Rtyaer (ranked 24442 p4p, 695 weight class) and Ko Dong Man (ranked 23765 p4p, 659 weight class). Remang Rtyaer had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.4lbs, 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. On his way into the cage it seems that Remang Rtyaer has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Remang Rtyaer seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
