Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Jack Brixon (ranked 3745 p4p, 2787 weight class) and Charles Murdock (ranked 462 p4p, 355 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Brixon might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Willie Nelson - Whiskey River. Murdock has chosen Feel good Inc. as his entrance music. Charles Murdock 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!
