Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Mickey Knox (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ray Guida (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Knox comes to the cage accompanied by Something I Can Never Have. Guida has chosen Stupid Kid - Alkaline Trio as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. On his way into the cage it seems that Mickey Knox has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Mickey Knox seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Guster Spencer 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 lightweight MMA rules bout between Marlo Froch (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Darius Parker (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Froch might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Can't be touched. 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.
