Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Adrian Shota (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gator Bait (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Shota comes to the cage accompanied by Sounds from the Motherland. Bait is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Alligator under my bed. 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?
