Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Makao Matsumoto (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Urvin Janzen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Matsumoto might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Sepultura - Territory . Janzen has chosen El Guapo Likes to Dance as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Makao Matsumoto could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Urvin Janzen's chin.
