Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Buck Naked (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Derrick Coleman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Naked might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Let's Get It On. Coleman has chosen Superstar by Lupe Fiasco as his entrance music. Derrick Coleman struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 172.9lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. The key to victory for Buck Naked has got to be keeping the fight on the feet.
