Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between James Hetfield (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Roberto Saki (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Hetfield might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Harvester of Sorrow. 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.
