Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Buakev Law (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Popeye Mcgrady (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Law's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Sierra Leone. The crowd seem to be enjoying Mcgrady's choice of entrance music: Johnny Cash - God's Gonna Cut You Down. 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.
