Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Jack Ward (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ricardo Maleno (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Ward might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Converge - No Heroes. The crowd seem to be enjoying Maleno's choice of entrance music: Weird Science. Ricardo Maleno has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Matsufubu Rofuru (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Josie Jo Ford (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rofuru kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Tetsuya Komuro - Speed 2. The crowd seem to be enjoying Ford's choice of entrance music: Hazy Shade of Winter. 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.
