Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Roy Gaston (ranked 820 p4p, 123 weight class) and Sam McCullen (ranked 568 p4p, 84 weight class). Gaston comes to the cage accompanied by You Can Do It. McCullen has chosen The Foggy Dew as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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?
