Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Iroquois Pliskin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rodrigo Diaz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Pliskin kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Metal Gear Solid Main Theme. Diaz has chosen Sepultura - Refuse/Resist as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Rodrigo Diaz is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
