Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Greg Fitzgerald (ranked 2630 p4p, 23506 weight class) and Jank Stank (ranked 288 p4p, 597 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Fitzgerald might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to It's Bedtime by Ninja Sex Party. Stank has chosen lil darkie x eddison - drink my piss you nasty slut yeah yeah 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.
