Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Yang Lee (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dimitri Pudzenko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Lee might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Japanese National Anthem. Pudzenko comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Bas Rutten - El Guapo likes to dance kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Yang Lee could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Dimitri Pudzenko's chin.

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Spencer Jorgenson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Glenn Roberts (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jorgenson kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Made You Look by Nas. 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.
