Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Christian Igali (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Franz Beckenbauer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Igali comes to the cage accompanied by Firestarter - The Prodigy. Beckenbauer has chosen Apaga mas não bate as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Zulu Chaka (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sepp Maier (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chaka comes to the cage accompanied by Bohemian Rapsody. The crowd seem to be enjoying Maier's choice of entrance music: Apaga mas não bate. 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 Sepp Maier was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
