Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Gregori Vladivostok (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Homer Simpson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Vladivostok might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Goodbye Sober Day - Mr Bungle. 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?
