Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Eric Mac (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mykka Hoivunen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hoivunen has chosen C SWEDEN SONG - swedish warriors as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Hoivunen has a pretty significant injury - he really shouldn't be fighting right now but he's a warrior and he's here none the less! Both fighters look pumped up here. Let's hope this is a good fight!
