Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Fred Palowakski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Andrey Voronkoff (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Palowakski might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Burning Down the House. Voronkoff is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by System of a Down-Aerials. The atmosphere really building for this one as we go over to our ring announcer for the fighter introductions!
