Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Heng Keo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Adam Yauch (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Keo might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Ich Will - Rammstein. Yauch has chosen No Sleep Till Brooklyn as his entrance music. 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.

Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Junior Wolfe (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Papy Abedi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Wolfe kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is The Ramones - Blitzkreig Bop!. Junior Wolfe had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.1lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
