Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Jerome Powers (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Blokada Leningrada (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Powers comes to the cage accompanied by We Run This - Missy Elliot. Leningrada is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Farewell of Slavyanka. 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.

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Maciej Dobrzynski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gunner Malone (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Dobrzynski might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Sabaton - Uprising. Malone has chosen Jimmy Hendrix - Vodoo Child as his entrance music. Maciej Dobrzynski could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Gunner Malone's chin.
