Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Tommy Thompson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Basje Schrauwen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Thompson kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Raise Your Hands. Schrauwen comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Arsonist's Prayer by Catharsis kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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.

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Blake Richardson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hector Veliahos (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Richardson kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Got 2 have it(Dupri). Veliahos is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Slipknot - Snapl. 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.
