Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Charlie Bravo (ranked 3431 p4p, 2477 weight class) and Pablo Cruz (ranked 258 p4p, 197 weight class). Cruz has chosen Daddy Yankee / Gasolina as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Pablo Cruz told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Benjamin Noeigati (ranked 578 p4p, 619 weight class) and Alexander Korolev (ranked 81 p4p, 85 weight class). Noeigati's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Cremation of Sam McGee. Korolev has chosen Holding Out For A Hero (EuroMash) 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.
