Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Lionel Wright (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Morgan Wade (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Wright might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Eazy E - Creep 'N' Crawl. Wade has chosen Bodies as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Morgan Wade told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mick McManus (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Blob Sapp (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). McManus's entrance music is Scotland The Brave. A fine choice. The crowd seem to be enjoying Sapp's choice of entrance music: Voodoo Child by Jimi Hendrix. Fingers crossed for an exciting fight - I'm sure both fighters are looking for a nice under the table bonus!
