Undercard bout

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Ken Kei Katsuro (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and John Lee (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Katsuro might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Lil Wayne - Playin With Fire. Lee has chosen Kung Fu Fighting as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Ken Kei Katsuro has the edge in experience - let's see if he can make that count tonight.
