Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Borin Chim (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Charlie Alaniz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Chim might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to David Guetta & Showtek - Bad ft. Vassy. Alaniz has chosen Beck - Loser as his entrance music. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Robledo Puch (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Xavier Bishop (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Puch kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Breathe. Bishop has chosen Pimps Around The World as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Robledo Puch has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Ricky Icky (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Max Casacci (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Icky might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Wrecking Ball. The crowd seem to be enjoying Casacci's choice of entrance music: Serpente by SUBSONICA. This should be a great matchup!
