Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Marton Csemy (ranked 1613 p4p, 1782 weight class) and James Hackett (ranked 105 p4p, 112 weight class). Csemy's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Iron Maiden: Fear of the dark. Hackett has chosen Foe Tha Love of Money 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.
