Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Steve McRae (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and South Spartan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think McRae might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Indestructible. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Korter Poundre (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Oskari Jokinen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Poundre comes to the cage accompanied by Did My Time. Jokinen is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Prodigy - Firestarter. 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 heavyweight MMA rules bout between Vvierme Llamer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Simon Lluoma (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Llamer comes to the cage accompanied by Prodigy - Spitfire. Lluoma has chosen New Religion - Duran Duran as his entrance music. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Simon Lluoma was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
