Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kim ILJONG (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Steven Seagal (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think ILJONG might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Jeff Healey Band - When the Night Comes Falling From the Sky. Seagal has chosen Cripple Fight by Droon as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Steven Seagal has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
