Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Josh Howell (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Raymond Williams (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Williams has chosen Bajaga - Moji drugovi as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Raymond Williams 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!
