Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Dennis Alkofer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Makaha Kaleikini (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kaleikini comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Hell Within kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Makaha Kaleikini was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
