Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ben Supko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kevin Von Erich (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Supko's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Sup Gonna Give it To Ya'. Von Erich has chosen I always feel like somebody is watching me as his entrance music. Kevin Von Erich will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.
