Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Angle Iron (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Frankie Glass (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Iron's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, I Have a Dream. Glass has chosen Laurel & Hardy present “ Dueling Banjos “ as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
