Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Malcolm King (ranked 2178 p4p, 4920 weight class) and Derek Patterson (ranked 252 p4p, 472 weight class). King's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, YoungBoy Never Broke Again – White Teeth. Patterson has chosen I'm So High. Nashville Pussy as his entrance music. 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.

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Jorgen Kruth (ranked 155 p4p, 276 weight class) and Ricky Greene (ranked 11 p4p, 19 weight class). Kruth's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Black Hole Sun- Soundgarden. Greene has chosen Stepdad- Eminem as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Well, I have no idea who's going to take this one!
