Co-main event
|
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Piney Winston (ranked 2639 p4p, 3225 weight class) and Demi Achilles (ranked 316 p4p, 364 weight class). Piney Winston had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.5lbs, 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. Demi Achilles will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
