Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Aragorn Arathorm (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Heath Ledger (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Arathorm might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Aragorn Soundtrack. Ledger has chosen Machine Head by Bush as his entrance music. 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?
