Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Ville Ahokas (ranked 847 p4p, 89 weight class) and Charles Ng (ranked 985 p4p, 103 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Ahokas might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to ELUVEITIE - Inis Mona. Ng has chosen Wedlock - I'm The Fuck You Man 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.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Samson Wade (ranked 96 p4p, 12 weight class) and Rockford Knight (ranked 204 p4p, 23 weight class). Knight has chosen The Stars that Play with Laughing Sams Dice by Jimi Hendrix 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.
