Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Gregory Clegane (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Django Freeman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Clegane might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Vader- sword of the witcher. Freeman has chosen 100 Black Coffins as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Gregory Clegane could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Django Freeman's chin.
