Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Vic Rains (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Don Opas (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Rains might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Thunder & Lightning. Opas has chosen AC/DC - Thunderstruck as his entrance music. 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.
