Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Wendell Sailor (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Walter White (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sailor comes to the cage accompanied by Blackalicious - It's Going Down. Wendell Sailor had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 206.5lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. Wendell Sailor could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Walter White's chin.

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between John Deurell (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Van Kelly (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Deurell might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Africa. 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?
