Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jay Sleek (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Arana Kahui (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sleek kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Clawfinger - Biggest & The Best. Kahui has chosen Mustasch - Dogwash 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.
