Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Brent Celek (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Forrest Loveladdy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Celek might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to 40 oz. Loveladdy has chosen PANTERA - F*CKING HOSTILE as his entrance music. 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.
