Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Jon Jones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rolando Souto (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Souto's choice of entrance music: Jorge Quintero - 300 violin orchestra. 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?

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Norbert Grupe (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Andreas Ottosson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Grupe might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Organized Konfusion - Bring It On (Buckwild Remix) . Ottosson has chosen Clawfinger - Biggest & The Best as his entrance music. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
