Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Devin Jaqquard (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Arthas Menethil (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jaqquard comes to the cage accompanied by Rebirthing-Skillet. Menethil is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Arthas - Let it go. 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?
