Undercard bout

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Eks Man (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Chad Brown (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Man might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to The Prodigy 'Invaders Must Die' . The crowd seem to be enjoying Brown's choice of entrance music: Slayed. 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.
