Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Willheim Schmitt (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and John Burroughs (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Burroughs has chosen Simple Man By Shinedown as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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 light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Geoffrey King (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lucas LaVey (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). King's entrance music is King of my Castle by Wamdue Project. A fine choice. LaVey has chosen Deicide - Scars of the Crucifix as his entrance music. On his way into the cage it seems that Geoffrey King has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Geoffrey King seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
