Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Aamu Hannu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dennis Coles (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Hannu might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to LOW. 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.
