Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Nicolai Demikovic (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Raphael Monet (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Demikovic kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Russian National Anthem. Monet is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Bee Gees - Stayin' Alive. 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 middleweight MMA rules bout between Clinical Cpw (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Milton Myers (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Cpw might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Purple Rain. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Milton Myers was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
