Undercard bout

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ivan Drago (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tommy Fausu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Fausu comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Manu Samoa kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Both these guys have solid standup skills and neither is particularly fantastic on the ground, so let's hope for a nice standup war!
