Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Colin McDudley (ranked 5917 p4p, 24782 weight class) and Pudd Nelson (ranked 602 p4p, 715 weight class). McDudley's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Devil's Dance Floor. Nelson has chosen Desperado - Eagles as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
