Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Leo Bosanac (ranked 1628 p4p, 1097 weight class) and Lyke Tuytuhlz (ranked 212 p4p, 150 weight class). Bosanac comes to the cage accompanied by Bobnoxious-Big Cannons. Tuytuhlz has chosen Nas - N.Y. State of Mind as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Lyke Tuytuhlz struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 186.0lbs 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. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
