Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Kaimana Kalainawai (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sergey Aleksandrovich (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kalainawai kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Collie Buddz - She Gimme Love. Sergey Aleksandrovich told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
