Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ryu Machida (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Free Win (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Machida comes to the cage accompanied by Street fighter theme song by pennywise. Win has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Free Win is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
