Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mikael Ace (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Alessio Maximus (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Maximus is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Oh Fortuna - Carl Orff. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Alessio Maximus was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between EJ Johnson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Olle Koskinen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Johnson comes to the cage accompanied by Game: South Side . 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?
