Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Lewis Franklin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Marcelo Monteiro (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Franklin's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Crazy Train-Ozzy Osbourne. Monteiro has chosen The King of Kings-Motorhead as his entrance music. Monteiro has a pretty significant injury - he really shouldn't be fighting right now but he's a warrior and he's here none the less! Marcelo Monteiro will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
