Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Roman Petkovic (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Chubby Johnson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Petkovic might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to BvC Crew - KOSOVO. 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 featherweight MMA rules bout between Rodel Hiligaynon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Chauncey Silvestre (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Hiligaynon might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Down and Out . 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.
