The first large heavyweight fight by Dana White Since launching TKO boxing with Turki Alshikh, a monstrous 155LB Golf will see in weight.
Prior to the inks of his revolutionary new deal with the Saudi boxing boss, White has been an important proponent of the Irish younger Callum Walsh. The indigenous headlines in the Madison Square Garden Theater Tomorrow evening against Dean Sutherland, but all eyes seem to be on the heavyweight undercard.
Dubliner Thomas Carty, who was promised an American debut of White after he landed a KO on the 3arena in September, landed in New York on the UFC boss requirement. He is confronted with a huge task in the American knockout artist Dajuan Calloway, who tipped the scales on an incredible 409LB.
Dajuan Calloway weighs in 155 pounds heavier than Thomas Carty
During tonight's weightings for the Big St Patrick weekend show of 360 Promotions, two heavyweights waved while they took the scales. Dajuan Calloway came in just over 409 pounds, while his rival Thomas Carty was only 255 pounds.
While 255LB on 6'4 ″ is by no means small for the weight class, Carty is a complete middleweight (or lightweight by MMA standards) smaller than its rival tomorrow night. The Irishman has eliminated all professional opponents one after one, but stands for a major challenge in New York.
Calloway is actually the shorter of the two with a centimeter, but is no less than 155 pounds heavier after a career-high 409LB. He has already booked a fight against unbeaten Gurgen Hovhannisyan for next month, and will try to prevent a suspension, even if he loses Carty.
Dana White promised Thomas Carty his American debut
In September, Thomas Carty's impressive knockout about Jonathan Exquiz Vergara completed a dream week that earned him a bonus and another booking by Dana White himself. The Dubliner sold hundreds of tickets and scored an explosive finish with several knockdowns in a card height.
White eventually gave him a $ 5,000 bonus for the victory and stated that he should take him to Boston of New York for his next outing. And while Carty came out in Gibraltar in December on his manager Dillian Whyte's Undercard, the UFC boss kept its promise this weekend.
“We have to take him to New York or Boston or Vegas, whatever we are going to do,” White told the media after his victory in Dublin. 'We certainly bring carty with something, I don't know what Tom [Loeffler, 360 Boxing’s promoter] Is thinking, but they do an excellent job of matchmaking. “
