Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Tony Jaa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tom Stroud (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Stroud comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Vallenfyre - Iconoclast kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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 Tom Stroud was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Ladies and gentlemen, after 1:52 of round 1, we have a winner by way of TKO (Strikes). Ice Drago!
Ice Drago seemed lost for words in his post fight interview but he remembered to thank his fans and directed everyone to his website.

Couture has chosen Mama said knock you out as his entrance music. Brandon Couture told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one!
