Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Sully McCormick (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sven Kreigmacher (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think McCormick might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Dropkick Murphys- Fightstarter Karaoke. Kreigmacher is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Seek and Destroy by Metallica. Both these guys have solid standup skills and neither is particularly fantastic on the ground, so let's hope for a nice standup war!
