Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between A Guy From Brazil (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Peter Parker (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). From Brazil's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Amazing - Kanye West ft. Young Jeezy. 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.
