Undercard bout

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Beta Knox (ranked 1621 p4p, 166 weight class) and Korean Kimchi (ranked 1323 p4p, 136 weight class). Knox kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Anthrax | Fight Em Till You Can't. Kimchi has chosen BigBang & 2NE1 - Lollipop as his entrance music. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
