Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Punishment Cruel (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Chucky Kahn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Cruel might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Enter Sandman. The crowd seem to be enjoying Kahn's choice of entrance music: Tibetan Song.2010.[ 21 ] 完玛三智.新歌. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
