Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Ayo Anoy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dave Lee (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Anoy kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Massive Attack - Teardrop. Lee is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Fatboy Slim - Right Here Right Now. 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.

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Lars Thunstrom (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bart Brown (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Thunstrom might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Prodigy - Spitfire. Brown is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: AC/DC - Thunderstruck. 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?
