Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Mike Charles (ranked 1784 p4p, 219 weight class) and Benz Bulver (ranked 3858 p4p, 406 weight class). Charles comes into the arena with Renegades Of Funk - Rage Against The Machine blaring out of the sound system. Bulver has chosen Little Eagle Soars as his entrance music. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Benz Bulver was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Dean Wesson (ranked 971 p4p, 133 weight class) and Wampage Johnson (ranked 438 p4p, 60 weight class). Wesson comes to the cage accompanied by In Your Honor - Foo Fighters. Johnson has chosen Come Over (feat. Stylo G) as his entrance music. 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.
