Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Brandon Miller (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Al Ucard (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Miller might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Bring the Pain. Ucard has chosen Bill Conti- Going The Distance 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.
