Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Jake LaMotta (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Trevor Condit (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). LaMotta's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Cavalleria Rusticana: Intermezzo. Condit has chosen RAWR as his entrance music. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
