Undercard bout

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Hop Sing Jung (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Asato Mikio (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jung kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Jiu Jitsu. Mikio has chosen Ain't No Grave as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Hop Sing Jung could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Asato Mikio's chin.
