Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Pops Cama (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and William Burns (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Cama comes to the cage accompanied by Lollipop. Burns has chosen I Won't Back Down as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
