Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Michael Jordan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bella Woods (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Jordan might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Gangnam Style. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
