Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Luis Torres (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Togi Makabe (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Torres kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Lie, Cheat, & Steal. Makabe has chosen Immigrant Song 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.

Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between David October (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Aribert Heim (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). David October had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 137.2lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. Fingers crossed for an exciting fight - I'm sure both fighters are looking for a nice under the table bonus!

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Jacques La Haine (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kermit Earlandson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). La Haine's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Cut Killer - Nique La Police. Earlandson has chosen the theme from titanic as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
