Undercard bout

Croc Dile had a terrible time trying to make weight. After initially coming in at 148.6, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. Stepping on the scales for a second time, he still failed to make the required weight and after much deliberation, his fight with Lee Larson was cancelled.
So, because the bout was cancelled, Croc Dile retains his title. |
