Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Didier Misalooba (ranked 6682 p4p, 17583 weight class) and Tom Jones (ranked 657 p4p, 752 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Misalooba might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Beyond the Black. 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 Tom Jones was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
