Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Timaogh Uggla (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Yan Khone (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Khone has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. 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?

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between George Hagler (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kevin Suzuki (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Suzuki has chosen One of a Kind as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Suzuki has a pretty significant injury - he really shouldn't be fighting right now but he's a warrior and he's here none the less! 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?
