Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Michael St Pierre (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Aleksander Rugova (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). St Pierre kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genuis that is DMX - Where My Dawgs At. 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?
