Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Leshar Moradon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Master Buten (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Moradon might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Bundy. Leshar Moradon could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Master Buten's chin.
