Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Jake Kilmster (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and John Shaw (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Kilmster might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Maylene & The Sons of Disaster - Darkest of Kin. Shaw has chosen Shangri-La 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.

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Chad Carlson Jr (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Johnny McBraddish (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Carlson Jr kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Muse- Stockholm Syndrome. McBraddish comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Broken by 12 Stones kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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.
