Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Edward Sleon (ranked 3895 p4p, 2723 weight class) and Dakota Reis (ranked 408 p4p, 303 weight class). Sleon's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Shabba Madda Pot - Dexta Daps. Reis has chosen Cree Prayer Song - Young Spirit as his entrance music. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
