Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Beerkiller Razmax (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Homer Simpson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Razmax has a slight injury, which hopefully won't affect the fight too much. Beerkiller Razmax looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
