Undercard bout

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Milo Kroton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rick Thompson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kroton's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Mastodon - Blood and Thunder. Thompson is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Danzig - Mother. 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.
