Main event

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Pedro Aristides Leopoldo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lucifer Satan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Leopoldo comes into the arena with Carmina Burana - Carl Orff blaring out of the sound system. Satan is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Disciple. 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.
