Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Kip Aragus (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Robert Glenn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Aragus kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Kill of the Night - Gin Wigmore. Glenn has chosen Say It Aint So by Weezer as his entrance music. Robert Glenn is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
