Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Castor Rollins (ranked 3355 p4p, 314 weight class) and Carl Kingston (ranked 1527 p4p, 166 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Rollins might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Ulfheonar. Kingston is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Creep - Radiohead . 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?
