Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Stephen Kven (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Alucard Darkim (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kven kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is The Captain Entrace. Darkim is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: I'm new in da city. 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?
