Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Fleegle Bananasplits (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rob Mugabe (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bananasplits kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is call to prayer. Mugabe has chosen The Zimbabwean National Anthem as his entrance music. 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.
