Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Buck Brown (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Joe Rokocoko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Brown might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Cannibal Corpes - Hammer smashed face. 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?
