Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Torcadall Sailcirc (ranked 3201 p4p, 3583 weight class) and Chimzat Khamaev (ranked 393 p4p, 428 weight class). Sailcirc comes to the cage accompanied by THE SCOTTS. Khamaev has chosen Theme Song as his entrance music. Torcadall Sailcirc had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.4lbs, 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. Well, I have no idea who's going to take this one!
