Undercard bout

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Dan Price (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Karol Mirowski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Price might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Lamb of God - Redneck. Mirowski has chosen Mercy as his entrance music. 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?

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Kim Il Sung (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ryu Musashi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Il Sung might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Death in Vegas- Dirt. Musashi has chosen Sword of the Stranger - Mukoh Hadan as his entrance music. Ryu Musashi told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Bronson Steam (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Don Diego (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
