Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Arabian Beattie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Vincent Nickerson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Beattie might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Danzig - Mother . Nickerson has chosen I Stand Alone as his entrance music. Vincent Nickerson will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
