Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Igor Rottwel (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rog Bison (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rottwel kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Land of the Free. Rog Bison 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!
