Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Johnny Chan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Forrest Ortiz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chan kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Survival of the Sickest by Saliva. Ortiz has chosen 2Pac - All Eyes On Me 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 Forrest Ortiz was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Mahmoud Denjat (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dominick Rivaldi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Denjat's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, U.S.A. National Anthem. Rivaldi comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Joker's Wild kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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.
