Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kurosaki Ichigo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Marco Materazzi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Ichigo might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Radio/Video. Marco Materazzi will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
