Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Tom Haverford (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Nir Sosa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Haverford might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Jay-Z & Kanye West - N** In Paris. 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.
