Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Android Eighteen (ranked 24867 p4p, 3556 weight class) and Derrick Thomas (ranked 773 p4p, 468 weight class). Eighteen comes into the arena with Limit break x survivor blaring out of the sound system. Android Eighteen looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
