Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Monty Milano (ranked 1487 p4p, 3271 weight class) and Alphonse Creele (ranked 52 p4p, 79 weight class). Creele has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Alphonse Creele was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
