Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between John Prezario (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and James Anderson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Prezario might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Step Up. Anderson is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Massive Attack - Teardrop. James Anderson will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
