Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Tony Thawatchai (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dwyane Griffin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Thawatchai might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Converter - Conqueror. Griffin has chosen Tech N9ne - Am I A Psycho? (Feat. B.o.B. and Hopsin) as his entrance music. Dwyane Griffin will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.
