Undercard bout

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Carlie Phelps (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Steven Semenko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Phelps might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Dixie. Semenko has chosen Sure Fire Winners as his entrance music. Steven Semenko has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
