Undercard bout

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between J Gay G (ranked 2918 p4p, 1386 weight class) and Nick Shamrock (ranked 285 p4p, 154 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Gay G might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Down. Shamrock is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: One Winged Angel by The Black Mages. 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.
