Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Darren Andrews (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Donald Duff (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Andrews's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Hammerfall - Stronger Than All. Duff has chosen Carmina Burana as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Donald Duff is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
