Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Dylan Summers (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Frank Smith (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Summers comes into the arena with Meatloaf: In The Land Of The Pigs blaring out of the sound system. Smith has chosen Redman - Da goodness as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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?
