Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Duk Dong (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ricky Ortiz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Dong might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Thompson Twins - If You Were Here. Ortiz is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Can't Be Touched by Roy Jones Jr.. 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?

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mohamed Houssam (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ivan Poddubny (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Houssam kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Meek Mill feat Rick Ross - I'm A Boss.
