Undercard bout

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Bob Smith (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Iron Chancellor (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chancellor has chosen Amon Tobin / El Cargo as his entrance music. Smith has a slight injury, which hopefully won't affect the fight too much. 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.
