Undercard bout

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Roland Deschain (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Freddie Figgjo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Deschain kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is nightrain. Figgjo has chosen Edward Grieg 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.
