Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Maximillian Xezeron (ranked 3911 p4p, 149 weight class) and Rocky McColgan (ranked 3894 p4p, 80 weight class). Xezeron kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Our Truth by Lacuna Coil. The crowd seem to be enjoying McColgan's choice of entrance music: The Gael. Maximillian Xezeron could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Rocky McColgan's chin.
