Undercard bout

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Wong Fei Hong (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Diddy Mayweather (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Fei Hong might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Fade to Black. Mayweather has chosen Jay-Z - Dirt Off Your Shoulder as his entrance music. Diddy Mayweather is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
