Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between George Davis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Paul Butler (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Davis's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Marine Corps Hymn. Butler is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Fuck You. Paul Butler 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!
