Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Rehti Ladi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Helio Ali (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ladi kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is You Will Never Walk Alone. On his way into the cage it seems that Rehti Ladi has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Rehti Ladi seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between The Kicking Pokemon Hitmonlee (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Omg Zulud (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hitmonlee kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is The Hitmonlee Entrance Theme. Zulud comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Fedor Emelianenko Entrance song kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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.
