Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Gregoire Lefevre (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Leroy Rammell (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lefevre's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Saliva - Ladies and Gentlemen. Rammell has a pretty significant injury - he really shouldn't be fighting right now but he's a warrior and he's here none the less! Leroy Rammell will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.
