Undercard bout

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Magnus Gauti Geirsson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Haidar Barante (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Geirsson kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Fjöllin Hafa vakað. 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.
