Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Never Beyond (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Andrey Voronkoff (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Beyond comes to the cage accompanied by Do you remember. Voronkoff has chosen System of a Down-Aerials as his entrance music. 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 Andrey Voronkoff was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
