Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Max Casacci (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Coaker Kluge (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Casacci might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Serpente by SUBSONICA. Coaker Kluge has the power to score a knockout today if he connects clean with Max Casacci's chin.
