Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Nate MacRally (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Adam Resso (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think MacRally might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Red Rider - Lunatic Fringe. Resso has chosen Avenged Sevenfold-Beast and the Harlot as his entrance music. Nate MacRally has the edge in experience - let's see if he can make that count tonight.
