Undercard bout

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between John Bzdunek (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Predator Burns (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bzdunek comes to the cage accompanied by Kilka ostatnich krokow. Burns has chosen How I Could Just Kill A Man - Cypress Hill as his entrance music.
