Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Billy Bruiser (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rebel Johnson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bruiser's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Rainmaker. The crowd seem to be enjoying Johnson's choice of entrance music: If you want blood, you got it by AC/DC . Billy Bruiser could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Rebel Johnson's chin.
