Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ultimate Brutality (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Daniel Crushman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Brutality might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WGQY2tMo0K4. 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?
