Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Muhamad Masolini (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hunter Flagg (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Masolini might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Warriors Dance. Muhamad Masolini looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
