Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Chris Villar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Pawel Wisniewski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Villar kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Mainit. Wisniewski has chosen Vienio & Pele - To jest moj hardcore as his entrance music. 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.
