Undercard bout

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tony Starks (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jack Slater (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Starks's entrance music is Bring Da Ruckus. A fine choice. Slater is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Saliva - Ladies and Gentlemen. 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.
