Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Parta Matti (ranked 422 p4p, 460 weight class) and Tinashe Chukwuma (ranked 52 p4p, 57 weight class). Matti's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Language (Hula Cam) - Porter Robinson. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
