Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Laverne Mazzola (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Pat Tillman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mazzola's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Il Canto Degli Italiani. 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.

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Simba Burns Jr (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bronson Steam (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Burns Jr might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Thuggish Ruggish Bone. 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.

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Timur Rubin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Grigori Rasputin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rasputin comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Symphony of Destruction kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
