Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Tzwrtzos Peidis (ranked 2582 p4p, 298 weight class) and Gunter Schultz (ranked 1444 p4p, 180 weight class). Peidis's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, ΑΥΤΟ ΤΟ ΤΡΑΓΟΥ&. Schultz is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Imperial March (L.O.D. Rage Mix). 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.
