Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Tommy Vercetti (ranked 916 p4p, 1245 weight class) and Darius Frank (ranked 138 p4p, 177 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Vercetti might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Vice City. The crowd seem to be enjoying Frank's choice of entrance music: Trapper x Foogiano . Darius Frank has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Calvin Deane (ranked 516 p4p, 1440 weight class) and Amri Mbeki (ranked 28 p4p, 74 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Deane might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Cinderella Man. Mbeki has chosen Where The Hood At as his entrance music.

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Dakota Thibodeaux Jr. (ranked 283 p4p, 1088 weight class) and Ian Stronk (ranked 44 p4p, 164 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Thibodeaux Jr. might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Rags2Riches. Both these guys have really solid chins.
