Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Henry Savagery (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Alejandro Zapata (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Savagery might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to The Victory. The crowd seem to be enjoying Zapata's choice of entrance music: Tres Delinquentes. 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.

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Albert Kelly (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Robert Ramirez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kelly kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Fire Your Guns. 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?
