Undercard bout

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Delta Frankzola (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jacoby Nichalos (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Frankzola kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Night Train. The crowd seem to be enjoying Nichalos's choice of entrance music: Hallow Point Heroes- Calm Before The Storm. 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.
