Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Brodie Boyce (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Paul McBride (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Boyce's entrance music is "Lunatic Fringe" by Red Rider. A fine choice. McBride is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by For whom the bell tolls. 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?
