Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ben Pimpin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jamal Brooks (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Pimpin comes into the arena with 5 minutes alone blaring out of the sound system. Brooks has chosen What you know by T.I. as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Pimpin has a slight injury, which hopefully won't affect the fight too much. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
