Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Geraldo Rivera (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Luca Blight (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Rivera might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Sucker Punch - Sweet Dreams. Blight has chosen Suikoden II - The Chase as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Luca Blight has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
