Undercard bout
|
Both (initial weighin 224.8lbs) and (initial weighin 224.8lbs), had an absolute nightware trying to make weight for this fight. Even after an additional two hours neither fighter could make the required limits, so the fight organisers had no choice but to call off the bout. Very unprofessional of both fighters.
So, the belt remains unclaimed. Very disappointing for everyone involved! |

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Xain Zhao (ranked 246 p4p, 809 weight class) and Corey McGraugh (ranked 39 p4p, 128 weight class). Zhao's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, I love Friday. McGraugh has chosen Dead Kennedys - Police Truck as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. This should be a great matchup!
