Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Bobby Olsen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Adrian James (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Olsen might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Notorious B.I.G. - Dead Wrong. Adrian James is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Weltto Wirtanen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jarkhou Anakin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Wirtanen might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Mt Eden Dubstep - Sierra Leone. Anakin has chosen Breaking Benjamin - Firefly as his entrance music. Jarkhou Anakin struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 187.0lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. Jarkhou Anakin will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
