Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kosti Johannes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Wayne Walters (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Johannes kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genuis that is Raised Fist - Killing It. Walters has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Kosti Johannes could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Wayne Walters's chin.
