Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Louie Matthews (ranked 4987 p4p, 192 weight class) and Yegor Savaryn (ranked 4799 p4p, 187 weight class). Savaryn has chosen Anvil - Hammering sounds as his entrance music. Savaryn has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. 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 super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Scotty Gonzalez (ranked 5889 p4p, 208 weight class) and Sake Chu (ranked 6705 p4p, 219 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Gonzalez might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Summer On Lock by Royce Da 5'9. The crowd seem to be enjoying Chu's choice of entrance music: Daughtry - Renegade. Chu has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Both these guys have solid standup skills and neither is particularly fantastic on the ground, so let's hope for a nice standup war!
