Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Josh Wyte (ranked 23672 p4p, 24226 weight class) and Joopu Bizo (ranked 694 p4p, 657 weight class). Josh Wyte had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.2lbs, 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. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
