Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Jon Monroe (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Craig Shagger (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Monroe might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to A Country Boy Can Survive. 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?

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Bobby Digital (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jean Descharme (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Digital comes to the cage accompanied by Wu-Tang Clan - Wu-Tang Clan Ain't Nuthing Ta F'Wit . On his way into the cage it seems that Bobby Digital has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Bobby Digital seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
