Undercard bout

Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Antonio Mauricio DeSilva (ranked 42 p4p, 29 weight class) and Jean-Claude Marceau (ranked 10 p4p, 6 weight class). DeSilva kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Body Head Anthem - Roy Jones Jr Feat. Magic & Choppa). Marceau has chosen Feist - Tout Doucement as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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 Jack Number (ranked 128 p4p, 40 weight class) and Cerberus Dionisy (ranked 23 p4p, 9 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Number might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to This is A Film - Iggy Pop (Goran BregoviÄ). Dionisy has chosen Voodoo as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Well, I have no idea who's going to take this one!
