Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Sao Alela (ranked 2195 p4p, 2925 weight class) and Doko Dokov (ranked 222 p4p, 282 weight class). Alela comes to the cage accompanied by Cryin' Like a Bitch. Doko Dokov struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 156.4lbs 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. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Anti Happy (ranked 2146 p4p, 2384 weight class) and Keir Toal (ranked 159 p4p, 174 weight class). Happy kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Bvana iz lagune & Mikri Maus - AntiHepi. Toal is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Irish Pub Song. Keir Toal struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 147.5lbs 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. Anti Happy has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
