Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Bakar Ben Khalifa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and The Kicking Pokemon Hitmonlee (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Ben Khalifa might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to The Prodigy - Warrior's Dance. Hitmonlee comes into a darkened arena with his song building. The Hitmonlee Entrance Theme 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.

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Elmer Montgomery (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jimmy Nelson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Montgomery's entrance music is Sunshine Highway. A fine choice. Nelson is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by AFI - Totalimmortal. 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?
