Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Khabib Nurmagemedov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Monokio Mow (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Nurmagemedov might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Kanye West ft Jay-Z Nicki Minaj Rick Ross and Bon Iver - Monster. Mow is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Genesis. Monokio Mow struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 146.3lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. Monokio Mow has the power to score a knockout today if he connects clean with Khabib Nurmagemedov's chin.

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Patricky Freire (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lucas Faria (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Faria is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Stevie B - Spring Love. 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?
