Undercard bout

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Nick Demetriou (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Masato Takaya (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Demetriou comes to the cage accompanied by Ocean Avenue. Demetriou has a slight injury, which hopefully won't affect the fight too much. 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.
