Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between William Marstars (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Raimo Ronne (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Marstars might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Puddle of Mudd - Living on Borrowed Time. Raimo Ronne has the power to score a knockout today if he connects clean with William Marstars's chin.
