Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Leonid Kulminator (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ike Uchimata (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kulminator kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genuis that is ZZ-No way out. Uchimata has chosen Pantera - Drag the Waters 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?
