Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Don Petersen (ranked 1891 p4p, 237 weight class) and Didier Misalooba (ranked 2276 p4p, 263 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Petersen might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to James Brown- Living in America. Misalooba has chosen Beyond the Black as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Didier Misalooba has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Marciano Cobb (ranked 417 p4p, 60 weight class) and Damien The Omen (ranked 624 p4p, 90 weight class). Cobb kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Miley Cyrus - Party In The U.S.A.. The Omen has chosen Number of the Beast - Iron Maiden 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.
