Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Mark Junior (ranked 4921 p4p, 6061 weight class) and Dill Nickle (ranked 241 p4p, 272 weight class). Junior kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is I am Goated. 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 Dill Nickle was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Johnny Billabong (ranked 321 p4p, 648 weight class) and Mamed Khalidovic (ranked 41 p4p, 89 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Billabong might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Waltzing Matilda. Khalidovic has chosen Зима-мама 25/17 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.
