Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Izzy Cumming (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jeb Russell (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Cumming might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to White America. 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.

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Kiel Flay (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jeff Jackson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Flay comes to the cage accompanied by Diabolic- Modern Day Future. Jackson is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Action Bronson - Barry Horowitz. 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 light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Leonidas Katsaros (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Clay Mercer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Katsaros comes into the arena with 卍 卍 卍 blaring out of the sound system. Mercer has chosen Kid CuDi - Wylin Cuz I'm Young as his entrance music. 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.
