Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Derek Aronoff (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Albert Walters (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Aronoff might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to New Disease by Spineshank. Walters is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Voodoo Child. Albert Walters will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Manny Barry (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Conrad Howell (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Barry might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Dropkick Murphys - "I'm Shipping Up to Boston". Howell has chosen In Bed With Quinsy as his entrance music. Conrad Howell has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
