Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Abel Speed (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Paul Poulter (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Speed might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Limp Bizkit / Break Stuff. 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?

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Nick Faldo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Joey Dixon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Faldo might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Paparazzi Pone - Man Down. Dixon has chosen Dark Tranquillity - Iridium as his entrance music. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
