Undercard bout

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Vlad Mulucku (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gaara Sunagakuure (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Mulucku might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Garbo - Perestroika. Vlad Mulucku could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Gaara Sunagakuure's chin.
