Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Alexey Sviridov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dick Tator (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Tator comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Snoop Dogg - Pump Pump kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Alexey Sviridov had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 187.2lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the ring.

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Paul Kositzky (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Davis Black (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Kositzky might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Schwarz zu Blau. Davis Black has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
