Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Jack Dawkins (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Holden James (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Dawkins kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is This is How I Bang. The crowd seem to be enjoying James's choice of entrance music: Aerials. 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 welterweight MMA rules bout between Blaise Lamont (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ozuma Obata (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Lamont might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Twisted Nerve. Obata is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Hijack The Terrorist Group - Hijack. 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.
