Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jacoby Wilcox (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mark Kermodian (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Wilcox might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Danger: Wildman. Kermodian is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Arctic Monkeys - Mardy Bum. Jacoby Wilcox has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
