Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Stevie Midgar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Michael Corleone (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Midgar's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, I am a Real American - Rick Derringer. Corleone comes into a darkened arena with his song building. The Godfather Waltz 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.
