Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Uche Mohammed (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Fusion Drone (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mohammed's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, AC/DC - Dog Eat Dog. The crowd seem to be enjoying Drone's choice of entrance music: Snoop Dogg - Boom ft. T-Pain. 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.

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Vadim Kalashnikov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Marcus Brandao (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kalashnikov kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Leningrad Cowboys - Those Were The Days . Brandao has chosen The White Stripes - Seven Nation Army as his entrance music. Marcus Brandao told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Harald Friedricksen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Liha Tuukka (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Friedricksen kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is The Pursuit of Vikings by Amon Amarth. Harald Friedricksen is staring across the cage at his opponent, tweaking his nipples... Tweaking his own nipples that is.
