Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mike Metcalf (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Chubbs Peterson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Metcalf might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to "Highway to the Danger Zone," by Kenny Loggins. Mike Metcalf could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Chubbs Peterson's chin.
