Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Gilbert Valur (ranked 2798 p4p, 327 weight class) and Ezio Franco (ranked 3164 p4p, 358 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Valur might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to David Bowie - Let's Dance. Franco is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by BASS. Ezio Franco struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 187.9lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. Ezio Franco has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
