Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Cardio Machine (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sub Mityou (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Machine might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Skrillex - Bangarang . Sub Mityou has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
