Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Zander Cage (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Charles Darwin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Cage might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Xander Intro. 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 bantamweight MMA rules bout between Sergei Kourdakov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Abel Stamp (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kourdakov's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Sonata Arctica - San Sebastian. 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?
