Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jeremy Barrett (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rockford Knight (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Knight comes into a darkened arena with his song building. The Stars that Play with Laughing Sams Dice by Jimi Hendrix 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.
