Undercard bout

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Russian Experiment II (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Barney Fife (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Experiment II comes to the cage accompanied by Terminator 2 - Bad to the Bone. Russian Experiment II had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 171.0lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. 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 Brandon Simpson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Fist Fighter (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Simpson kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Last of the Mohicans Theme. Fighter has chosen Warrior's Pride as his entrance music. 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.
