Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Matt Hamilt (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kody Mock (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Hamilt might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to target=blank>System of a Down - B.Y.O.B.. The crowd seem to be enjoying Mock's choice of entrance music: Im on a Boat. Kody Mock is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
