Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Shi Fu Tu (ranked 747 p4p, 89 weight class) and Bartek Pietrzak (ranked 1091 p4p, 124 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Fu Tu might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Klendathu drop. 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?

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Sergey Panikov (ranked 329 p4p, 40 weight class) and Henry Longbow (ranked 503 p4p, 58 weight class). Panikov's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Fighters. Longbow is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Hero. 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.
