Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Chung Lee (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Thing One (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lee kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Blind by Korn. 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.
