Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Bruno Masterson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Machete Trejo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Masterson might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Stinkfist. 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.

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Hector Osorio (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tommy Struker (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Osorio might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Run to the Hills. Tommy Struker is staring across the cage at his opponent, tweaking his nipples.
