Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Barney Phife (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mickey Davis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Phife's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Fernandinho - Mais Alto. Davis has chosen Deftones - Beware 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.
