Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Tora Noshi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Nigel Beardwood (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Noshi comes to the cage accompanied by Don't Tell Me - Concorde Dawn. Beardwood has chosen The Black Angels - Young Men Dead as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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?
