Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Ben Knox (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Aaron Alexander (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Knox kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Cinderella Man - Eminem. Aaron Alexander told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Madass Insane (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Londre Laudinum (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Insane's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Three Days Grace - Animal I Have Become. 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.
