Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Magnus Landeskog (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tay Zonday (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Landeskog's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Pretty Fly (For A White Guy) - The Offspring. Zonday is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Chocolate Rain. 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.
