Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Paul Hogan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Brook Brown (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hogan kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is The Faint - The Geeks Were Right. 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?
