Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Noriyuki Nayoui (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Doug Harvey (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Nayoui might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to nWo Theme. Harvey is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Bitches Brew. 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.
