Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Jermaine Watson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Nick Dempsey (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Watson might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to I Ain't No Killa. Dempsey is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Linkin Park - Bleed it Out. 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.
