Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Dave Brown (ranked 4402 p4p, 437 weight class) and Marius Wieneke (ranked 5390 p4p, 486 weight class). Wieneke comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Satyricon - K.I.N.G kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Dave Brown had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 186.3lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. Buckle up people - heeeeeeeeeere we go!

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between John Brown (ranked 1475 p4p, 177 weight class) and Nils Holgersson (ranked 2516 p4p, 288 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Brown might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Hard In Da Paint. 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.

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Jay Gatsby (ranked 95 p4p, 13 weight class) and Luciano Bizarria (ranked 461 p4p, 60 weight class). Bizarria is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Arnaldo Antunes - Alta Noite. 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?
